QA1 Multi-Leaf Rear Double Adjustable Shocks ----- sold as a pair ---- Part # TD-802

We recommend adjustable shocks because you have the ability to fine tune and / or quickly diagnose suspension handling or traction problems.

Why use adjustable shocks:

We recommend adjustable shocks because you have the ability to fine tune and / or quickly diagnose suspension handling or traction problems.

For some street applications, single adjustable shocks are adequate. However, double adjustable shocks will provide a greater value because you can easily adjust the shock to fit the driving style you do. With all the different suspension systems and types of tires on the market, why would you not want to maximize your comfort and performance? Double adjustable shocks will at least give you a shot at it. Simply turn the knob on the left for bump and the amount of nose dive when you hit a bump can be reduced.

Note: To much bump will eventually start to deteriorate your ride; if this happens, just back it off a click or two. Rebound refers to how fast the car settles down to the bump. If the car tends to keep oscillating, simply turn the rebound knob (knob on the right) a few clicks and test again.

Can you have to much rebound? Yes you can; the car will become less responsive to transitions. Again, just back the rebound down a click or two. There are 19 clicks per adjustment.

Adjustments are made easy by simply by turning a knob! If you are into performance, double adjustable shocks should be considered.

Drag Racing Applications:

Double adjustable shocks will provide you a way to improve your 60 foot simply by adjusting the dampening between bump and rebound.

Depending on the type of suspension you are using, 4 link, traction bar, three link, ladder bar or something else, shocks will be the most important part of the rear suspension. Depending on where the shocks are mounted will determine how they are going to be adjusted, but the ability to separate bump and rebound is important.

For example, if the car does not plant the tire of the line, you could have a number of conditions that can cause this. By having a double adjustable shock on the rear-- you can adjust the shock softer and see if the traction changes.

Whether to change bump or rebound depends on the type of suspension being used and if the shock is before or behind the axle. If the tire can not keep up with the load transfer, the rear must be softened so the tire can keep up with the load. If the shock adjustment has no affect, the rear suspension is set to stiff. Because you have an adjustable shock you can quickly figure out the problem.

Note: Every car is setup differently and some drag cars leave on the tire alone. Dampening is still a issue even for those cars.
