NOTE: Minimum diameter for single shear mount is 5/8" on loaded applications!

It appears as though the QA1 shocks you have use a 1/2" ID bearing X 1.0" wide.

Our coil overs and Shockwaves use a bearing with a standard 1.0" OD and a 5/8" ID. We then use spacers /adapters to match the mounting hardware and match the almost industry standard 1.25" mounting width.

To do this correctly you need to purchase bearings and spacers from us.
Bearing (if your shocks use a 1" bearing bore):

Please explain why you sell 1/2" single sheer studs. What application is not loaded.

That is pretty darn cool. A problem with a part, could have been two different vendors, a rep from each one hopped in and said "I can help with that" and the problem got solved. Am I the only one that thinks that is awesome?

I had the same issue with mine when I got it. I had half of the correct spacers, sleeves and hardware with the kit. Not sure what happened, but I sourced matching parts at a local hardware store and handled it myself.
I ran the QA-1's for a summer and found them too harsh. I swapped them out for Ridetech remote resevoir coilovers and they have made the car much more enjoyable to drive. The Ridetech parts came with new hardware and they slid on like butter.

I think it is commendable that the two vendors stepped up to help. What is more telling to me is who did NOT step up.

I have tried for the last two months to get Frank to send me the right parts but thats turning out to be a lost cause.


That sounds about right!!! I gave up on him a long time ago

I have been using Ride tech and I must say great customer service!
