as a droop limiter.
QA1 shocks either have:
18 valving settings on one knob that simultaneously adjusts compression and rebound (Single adjustable).
18 valving settings on two knobs that independently adjust compression and rebound (double adjustable).
QA1 shocks have 18 damping settings per knob. There are 6 clicks per revolution of each knob, and each knob has 3
complete revolutions. The knob set fully counter clockwise is the softest setting - start adjustments from that point.
Recommended base settings to begin testing with are as follows:
Shocks with one adjuster knob:
Drag Racing:
0-6 clicks
Other Applications:
2-8 clicks for nice ride and handling;
8-12 clicks for firm ride and improved handling;
13+ clicks for more aggressive handling
Shocks with two adjuster knobs:
Drag Racing:
12-16 clicks compression and 0-4 clicks rebound
Other Applications:
2-8 clicks compression and rebound for nice ride and handling;
8-12 clicks for firm ride and improved handling;
13+ clicks for more aggressive handling
Note: Do not force the adjuster knob. Do not use pliers or any other tools on the piston rod or the adjuster knob. Do not
exceed 18 clicks under any circumstances. This could damage the adjuster and cause the shock to not adjust. This will
void any warranty. Do not use the shock
