@@b2customs696 You can, but the shock length is different from the old kit shock length. So you would at best still be at stock ride height. You wouldn't be able to go lower. You would most likely need a new spring as well. Please give our tech team a call and they will be able to answer your questions!
The bolts and nuts closest to the wheels is a real B-ooch. You have to be a magician to even get the nut on the hole. I why did you guys leave that part out of the video? Any suggestion out do I need to have it welded. The only anyone could get that in is to raise the body.
I have a 72 Monte Carlo. I want to go with the level 2 handling kit but with some changes to the rear. Instead of having coil overs in the rear I want to get the single adjustable stocker star shocks TS801 along with replacing the stock spring because I don't want to do any drilling. Would that be a good setup and produce great ride? Thanks
I just experienced a frustrating experience with my rear QA1 coilovers vs my New Exhaust. The people that were installing the QA1's sait that I would have to remove & redirect my exhaust system.. I probably wouldn't have purchased the shocks if I new I needed to hack up my exhaust system...🤔
can i adjust the rear so that theres hardly any travel up/down? im working on a 70 chevelle and the customer has very to little clearance on the rear wheels to the rear fenders.
I'm in the process of installing this system in my '66 Buick GS. I notice that you avoid all questions related to the install of the top bracket. I can't see any way to get a nut on that third hole that needs to be drilled. So what's the option? weld in place? This bracket need to be redesigned because the third hole is useless if you can't get to it. Or am I missing something?
There are ways to achieve it, we understand it’s a hard task. The bolt can come in from the top as well if that’s easier. Please call into our tech line and they’ll be happy to offer some recommendations. 952-985-5675
I bought a 1964-67 A-Body Ford 9 Inch Housing/Axles with Coilover Suspension using QA1 coil overs from Speedway Motors. The axle housing they show in their ad has the shock and trailing arm brackets reversed from all the videos I've watched about this install. They have the shock mount inboard of the trailing arm bracket. Will this even work? Looks like the upper shock mount sets the geometry of the shock. However, the housing they sent me has the shock mount outboard but their mounts don't allow for the lower bracket to be mounted to the side. Your bracketry does fit if I remove the piece that bolts to the side of the mount but I still question if this will work. I hope this makes sense. I've been in contact with them but they are not the experts so I'm hoping you can help me determine if this will work before I get too far along in the install. Thank you
The brackets were engineered around the factory housing. If this housing is different from factory, it may not work or would need modification. We have not test fitted on this housing, so we cannot confirm if it will work or not.
I have a 1970 Chevelle Malibu. Will this QA1 setup adjust Higher than the standard height of the car. Looking for Hight on the front & rear of the car. Thanks Great Video.
Currently the spanner wrenches are not included with the coil-over kits. www.qa1.net/automotive/suspension/accessories/spanner-wrenches-and-thrust-bearing-kits
Chevelle Guy , I began to install this kit in my 65 chevelle. After installing the upper bracket I found I couldn't install the upper shock bolt due to it hitting the frame. Any ideas as I don't want to weaken the frame in that area. Thanks for the help! PR
Lowered stance, ride quality adjustability to fine tune your performance and handling, better cornering, easy bolt-on replacement, among other great benefits!
We are running the old kit on a 67' Chevelle and 295/50/15's so we want the car up from stock height, DS902 C/O 's and 14HT50 springs. Do you have a part # on just the new lower bracket mounts.
These coil-over setups are designed to bolt into the shock location and replace the factory shock and spring. We do not recommend keeping the old spring in.
We are looking at installing this kit on my son's '69 ElCamino. Would you recommend the 150# (RCK52336), 175# (RCK52337), or other rate of springs for this application?
@@QA1TECH ElCamino has a 383 Stroker, ~425hp, and a T-56 Magnum 6-speed conversion. Mostly street car use, but occasionaly carry some cargo, like a couple e-bikes which weigh 100# each, or other stuff. Should weigh between 1,550-1,600#, plus some cargo capacity (~50# more than the Chevelle's base weight) .
I need a similar bracket like this for my gbody. I did a disc conversion on my rear and the gbody bracket that comes with the kit seems like it will have my shock hitting the caliper. Will this bracket work for my application or is there another solution? I can’t find this bracket online anywhere either
While installing this system i.came across a couple poor engineering items. First upper plate is welded together which makes the eyelet for upper shock established. Issue is when ulyou install the 3rd bopt you have to drill for the plate is appx. 1/2" from touching. Which means once you tighten down.the shock.eyelet is no longer precise since it's welded amd was configured prior to you bending plate
Hi there. Sorry to hear this happened and we would like to know more. Please reach out to our tech team and they will be able to offer some assistance. 952-985-5675
@@b2ja03 If it happens, which isn't common, it could have possibly been the wrong setup for that car. If you reach out to our techs, they would be happy to walk you through the process! Our coil-over shocks do come with a Limited Lifetime Warranty.
The $700 includes more than just 2 shocks. It includes the adjustable shocks, springs, mounting brackets and all the hardware you need for installation.
