QA1 8Q36 Twin Tube Small Body Circle Track Shock Absorber with Aluminum Construction

The QA1 8Q36 is a high-performance twin tube small body circle track shock absorber designed for racers who demand consistency, tunability, and compact design. Formerly part of the 82 series lineup, the 8Q series features lightweight aluminum construction with a threaded body that makes it ideal for coil-over configurations when paired with QA1 spring kits.

Key Features:

• Aluminum small body design offers all the performance of large body shocks in a more compact package
• Perfect for lightweight classes or applications where clearance is limited
• Bearing mount configuration for precise suspension geometry
• Threaded body allows easy integration with coil-over setups
• Rebuildable and re-valvable in minutes using basic tools and available QA1 kits
• Scalloped base loop increases clearance in tight areas like upper control arms and shock mounts
• High-quality raw aluminum pistons maximize consistency and performance
• Laser-engraved, black-anodized closure nut makes serial numbers and valving specifications easy to read
• Upgraded seals minimize leaks, especially in high-rebound applications
• Slip fit compression tube design simplifies rebuilds
• Gland features relief cuts and hyper screw port for easy filling and bleeding during assembly
• 100% dyno tested and serialized for quality assurance

QA1's 8Q series shocks deliver professional-grade performance for circle track racing, offering maximum tunability through bleed shims or drilled bleeds. The compact design makes these shocks an excellent choice for racers running in weight-restricted classes or dealing with tight clearance requirements without sacrificing the proven performance QA1 is known for.
