Founded in 1993 by innovator Jim Jordan, QA1 has been supporting automotive performance from day one. It didn’t take racers on the oval tracks or drag strips long to realize QA1’s added value to their car’s suspension. That notoriety continues today.

Initially offering rod ends and spherical bearings to the performance-minded enthusiasts, the company branched out by providing performance shock absorbers, carbon fiber driveshafts, suspension, rod ends, spherical bearings, ball joints, and other related items.

For the SEMA 2020 virtual show, QA1 has rolled out a few new items that fine-tune previous versions of high-performance control arms, as well as new suspension kits.

Upper And Lower GM Control Arms

According to QA1’s Marketing Manager Dave Kass, their new GM control arms “are one the lightest, strongest, and best-looking control arms available for your ride.” Uniquely engineered with a focus on features that are “optimized for either street performance, pro-touring, or drag race vehicles,” Kass assures us these will provide a better ride. Enthusiasts looking to corner harder or launch faster may want to pick up a set.

Features And Benefits

• Tubular construction for maximum strength and increased wheel/tire clearance.
• A great complement to QA1 coil-overs.
• Available for race and street applications.
• QA1 low friction ball joints allow for additional tunability through longer ball joint studs.
• Adjustable steering stops integrated into the arms.
• Easy, bolt-in installation.
• Made in the USA.

1965-70 GM B-Body Full Vehicle Suspension System

GM’s 1965-70 GM B platform is the fourth best selling automobile platform in history with 12,960,000 units built. They are fairly inexpensive and plentiful, which is why many street enthusiasts have chosen this platform for their projects.

“Enthusiasts ready to transform their 65-70 Impala into a serious street performance, pro-touring or drag race machine will want to check out this all-new full vehicle suspension system,” says Kass. The kit features performance spec geometry improvements with adjustable ride height for the perfect stance.” QA1 offers the system as a complete kit or build-as-you-can components in an easy to install, bolt-in system.
