C5/6 Coilover System - Single Adjustable 1997 - 2009


For the ULTIMATE IN HANDLING
For you who want to increase the handling and performance.
Here it is Single Adjustable Coilover System For C5/C6 1997-2009
Kits complete with 4 coilovers and everything you need to install trouble free

QA1 was founded in 1993 and quickly became the #1 name in rod ends and spherical bearings sold into performance racing. In 1998, QA1 entered the drag racing market with the purchase of Hal Shocks. Over the next six years, QA1 improved the products and added shocks and struts engineered for street performance and circle track applications. In 2004, QA1 purchased Carrera Shocks and is now the #1 manufacturer of performance racing shocks. QA1 now has an even wider selection of products available, such as double adjustable, monotube, gas pressurized and chrome plated shocks and springs. Whether you’re looking for improved ride quality, show-stopping appearance, or faster times, QA1 delivers. QA1 utilizes many unique processes and components in its shock absorbers, with a tremendous selection available. Deflective disc valving, gas charged, monotube, twin tube, single adjustable, double adjustable, chrome plated … the list goes on and on. We even offer a complete line of racer revalveable, rebuildable and repairable circle track and stock mount shocks. Chances are great that if you want it, we’ve got it – and at a reasonable price. Other Suspension Components QA1 also offers many other complementary suspension components, such as k-members, caster/camber plates, control arms and struts for select applications. In addition, coil-over conversion kits and many other items are available for many popular applications. To complement the QA1 shock absorbers, we have also engineered a complete line of coil-over springs. QA1 springs are manufactured with the highest quality chrome silicone wire available. Springs are double heat-treated, double shot-peened and either powder coated with a chrome appearance or chrome plated. Each spring has been designed to be as light as possible without sacrificing performance. Every QA1 product has been engineered to outperform the competition at an affordable price. What are you waiting for?

I currently have the HAL QA-1 12-Way Adjustables on my C5.

Can you please explain the performance difference between the 12 Way adjustable shocks and these coil overs?

Thank you.

I believe is what you have is the Single Adjustable Stock Mount Shocks
12 Valving Options Unique to QA1, one **** changes both bump and rebound valving simultaneously, allowing total suspension control in one easy-to-reach location.

With the single adjustable coilover you also have the 12 valving options that controls bump and rebound but you also have the ability to adjust spring rate for added handling control and ride height and stiffness. You also gain control and can adjust all 4 corners of the car for your particular driving style or the track your on

The double adjustable gives you even more options you get 24 positions of compression adjustment on one ****, and 24 positions of rebound adjustment on the other ****

What kind of warranty is offered on these? I've seen other brands at shops with mounting brackets that have failed. Also what is the life expectancy of these? I daily drive my C6 and I'm already needing to change out the rear magnetic selective shocks for the second time. I'm think that i'm ready to convert over to coil overs, but would like to know how long they will last me

QA1’s liability in the case of defective products subject to the foregoing warranty shall be limited to the repair or replacement, at QA1’s option, of the defective products. Consequential or incidental damages are not recoverable under this warranty.

QA1 shocks and coilovers are made here in the US not imported from China, India, or some other third world nation. They are constructed from the best materials and to the highest quality standard.
QA1 is an ISO 9001 company.

Please refer to http://www.qa1.net/qa1_motorsports/images/drag_tech.pdf

As far as how long they will last depends on a lot of factors. We would believe that they would last longer the stock equipment installed on the car from the factory. How much longer depends on your driving style, habits, and how the are used/abused. To complement the QA1 shock absorbers,QA1 has also engineered a complete line of coil-over springs. QA1 springs are manufactured with the highest quality chrome silicone wire available. Springs are double heat-treated, double shot-peened and either powder coated with a chrome appearance or chrome plated. Each spring has been designed to be as light as possible without sacrificing performance. Every QA1 product has been engineered to outperform the competition at an affordable price.
