Source for QA-1 shocks?

[glenn woloski]

I'm looking to replace the shocks on my Van Diemen RF-79 and looking for an affordable shock
Can t find any information on the QA-1 shocks, and what about specific valving suitable for my car? Running on the vintage Hoosier or Avon tires.
Non- remote reservoir shocks , double adjustable.
Thanks!

I'm pretty sure Alan McColl has (or had) double-adjustable QA1 dampers on his Tiga, so if you want a local perspective on them, he could be a good place to start.

Are we going to see you at Mission this year?

I was looking at QA1, but couldn't find a small bodied shock that had hardware for a 2.25 spring and nothing in the lengths I needed.
Looking at using AVO shocks in the UK

Mike built a set for me 4 years ago and that perform like shocks costing 4 times a much. Mike can custom valve them and set up the shock to the length you need. (303)-922-4227

You’ll have a problem there. They have gone out of business.

GAZ should have an equivalent. You will have to wait, as they don’t hold stock, but do make them in a nice black plating.

Any issues, send me a pm. I’m the ex AVO distributor here in Oz.

Yup, Mike is great. He rebuilt QA1's for me. Resonable price, and easy to work with.
