QA1 2693-12M 26 Series Monotube Steel Shock 15.10/24.60 Eye/Eye V3-12M

The QA1 2693-12M is a 26 Series one-piece steel monotube shock absorber engineered for circle track racing on both dirt and asphalt surfaces. Built with a 2" O.D. zinc-plated steel monotube body, this shock delivers corrosion resistance and race-proven durability at a budget-friendly price point without sacrificing performance.

Featuring linear/digressive deflective disc valving with a compression rating of 3 and a medium rebound rating of 12M (V3-12M), this shock is tuned to provide stable, predictable handling across a wide range of track conditions. The hyperscrew valve configuration includes a threaded port near the bearing end of the body, sealed with an O-ring screw to maintain internal nitrogen gas pressure.

Key Features:

• 2" O.D. zinc-plated steel monotube body for corrosion resistance and long service life
• Linear valving with deflective disc technology for consistent, repeatable damping
• V3-12M valving — 3 compression / 12 medium rebound
• Hyperscrew gas valve for sealed nitrogen pressure retention
• 46mm piston for maximum car control at all shaft velocities
• Centerless-ground, gun-drilled piston rod eliminates rod flex for steady valving
• Eye-B/Eye-B mounting — eyelet top and eyelet bottom
• Compressed length: 15.10" | Extended length: 24.60" (9-inch stroke)
• Racer rebuildable and revalveable for unparalleled repeatability
• 100% dyno tested and serialized at the factory
• Made in the USA

The 26 Series is a popular choice for modifieds, late models, super stocks, and various other racing classes. It performs especially well on rough tracks, as an easy-up shock on dirt cars, and on bumpy asphalt tracks of all banking types.
