    QA1 MG401-10400A Details

    The QA1 GM Pro Coil System for 1967-1969 F-Bodies and 1968-1974 X-Bodies is a great option for anyone looking for fully adjustable ride height and valving control. Choose a spring rate and adjustability that fits your driving style, adjust the valving to match and you are on your way. These shocks also utilize a fully threaded body that allows you to adjust your ride height for the perfect stance or to finely tune the weight balance for superior handling.

    Specially designed for QA1's Pro Coil Systems, the American-made lightweight high travel springs* have fewer coils and a smaller wire diameter, resulting in increased travel due to the larger distance between the coils. They reduce unsprung weight and react faster, optimizing suspension performance. Multiple spring rate options are also available and have been successfully tested in various applications, from casual street driving to hard core race applications.

    • MOD™ Series - independent compression and rebound double adjustable
    • Lightweight Billet Aluminum Coil-Over Shocks

    Additional MOD™ Series Features:

    • Features QuickTune™ technology - modular valve packs that allow for completely revalving the shock without having to remove it from the car!
      • Medium compression and rebound valve packs standard

    • High-speed valving adjustment (coarse adjustment)—relates to shock operation during impact events, like hitting a pothole or curb 
    • Low-speed valving (fine-tune adjustments)—adjusts ride quality and weight transfer on corner entry/exit; more bleed for softer feel and less bleed for stiffer feel
