Product Details

The QA1 27A688-3M is part of QA1's 27 Series — a stock mount monotube shock absorber built for competitive circle track racing and IMCA-legal applications. With a collapsed length of 13.35 inches and an extended length of 22.55 inches, this shock features a T-Bar upper mount and polyurethane bushing lower mount, offering versatile fitment for a range of race-ready builds.

Key Features:

  • Stock mount monotube design — direct-fit replacement with race-proven monotube performance
  • Zinc plated steel body — corrosion resistant for long service life in demanding race environments
  • 46mm hard anodized piston — provides consistent, repeatable damping force
  • 8C/3M linear valving — delivers a stable, predictable feel to help drivers better sense and control the car
  • IMCA sealed — meets IMCA sanctioning body requirements straight from the factory
  • T-Bar upper / polyurethane lower mount — compatible with T-Bar style upper mounts; poly bushing lower reduces noise, vibration, and harshness
  • 100% dyno tested and serialized — every unit is individually tested and tracked for quality assurance
  • Made in the USA — manufactured domestically to QA1's strict quality standards
  • Racer revalveable and rebuildable for extended service life and on-track tuning flexibility

The QA1 27 Series builds on the proven foundation of the 26 Series, adding stock mount compatibility without sacrificing performance. Whether you're chasing consistency lap after lap or dialing in your setup for your specific track conditions, the 27A688-3M delivers the reliable, repeatable damping that circle track racers demand.

I was looking for a part for my Mallory distributor at a fair price. I called around to my local speed shops and they all had to order the part, so I went on line. With a little research for the best price here, at Autoplicity. I ordered the part last night and it has shipped 24 hours later. I like that. I have bookmarked Autoplicity so I can use the again. Thanks guys.<br><br>Jim

So far so good.

Easy site to use and nice connection to Amazon.

My son found the headlights he wanted and checking out was a breeze.

Great website. It is cheap and provides relatively fast shipping.

I got a cargo box from autoplicity. As far as online purchases go to delivery, everything went perfectly. The only comment I have for Autoplicity would be to send out a confirmation email when the purchase is first made. The first communication wasn't until 3 days after I made the purchase.
