Description

QA1's 4-link conversion and standard Ford 9 in. axle kits give you everything you need to get your 2nd Gen Camaro or Firebird project on the road—fast. QA1 paired their 4-link suspension kit with a custom 9 in. rear housing for enthusiasts seeking top-tier performance and hassle-free installation. Your time is valuable, so say goodbye to hunting for junkyard rear ends or struggling with endless measurements and mismatched components—every component in this package is tested by QA1 to fit the first time. Each kit is engineered to deliver the performance, ride quality, and adjustability you need to handle serious power and aggressive driving—without the hassle of having to source each part.

Ultimate shock performance:

Ditch your leaf springs for QA1 MOD Series coilovers, triangulated 4-link suspension and an all-new narrowed 9 in. rear end. QA1's MOD shocks are designed to provide the ultimate in tunability and performance. With their four-way adjustable valving, remote nitrogen canisters, and huge dampening forces, QA1 MOD shocks deliver in any driving scenario.

QA1 4-link kits are fully engineered to provide ride height, ride quality and instant center adjustability. Whether you're after a lowered, aggressive look or need clearance for wider wheels and tires, QA1 systems deliver.

QA1 is committed to delivering products that make upgrading your vehicle as simple as possible, and their 4-link kits with 9 in. housing are designed for a bolt-on installation, eliminating the need for custom fabrication.
