Buick Apollo Parts & Accessories

Explore Buick Apollo parts for brake service, suspension restoration and chassis projects at Black Ops Auto Works. Compare stated Apollo shock applications with QA1 chassis choices and brake components for the equipment installed on your car. Plan a focused repair or a coordinated suspension change around the exact production year.

Apollo Shock and Suspension Choices

For a shock replacement on a supported 1973–1974 Apollo, compare the Ridetech front RQ-S and rear RQ-S references as separate axle purchases. The front uses narrow T-bar/stud mounting, while the rear reference uses wide T-bar/eye mounting. These are targeted damper choices for the specified installation; a broader suspension project can require arms, springs and other components as well.

Brake Service and Conversion Projects

Explore applicable brake drums, shoes, hydraulic parts and PowerStop service references. Match them to the installed disc or drum arrangement and correct axle. Wilwood conversion listings require full spindle, hub and wheel-clearance coverage; choose the compatible system before ordering companion service parts.

Springs and Drivetrain Components

Coilover spring choices vary in rate, length and end style. Use the intended damper and vehicle setup to select the specification with your installer. For differential parts, identify the actual axle assembly, spline count and ratio requirements rather than choosing by the Apollo name alone.

QA1 Handling or Drag Suspension Projects

The listed GM X-body QA1 handling and drag packages serve different build plans. A handling project and a launch-focused drag setup should be compared around their supplied arms, chassis components and suspension layout. Several Level 2 and Level 3 listings explicitly exclude shocks, so budget the required dampers separately when choosing those packages.

For coilovers, compare the specified spring rate, free length and end design with the chosen damper and chassis package. The selection contains several combinations rather than one universal Apollo setup. Start with the package’s complete vehicle-year coverage and have the installer coordinate the spring and damper choice for the car’s weight and use.

Choose Your Part

• Identify production year and current chassis equipment.
• Choose brake service, shock replacement or a coordinated chassis project.
• Match complete applications, supplied parts and companion requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I buy replacement Apollo shocks or a QA1 chassis package?

Choose the separate Ridetech front and rear RQ-S references for a supported shock-replacement job. Compare a QA1 handling or drag package when the project also changes suspension components. Check the complete package contents: several listed QA1 kits exclude shocks.

What is included in the listed QA1 X-body packages?

Contents vary by package level and intended handling or drag use. The current selection includes kits marked “w/o Shocks,” which need separately selected dampers. Compare the exact kit’s arms, supporting components and spring requirements before adding individual parts.

Can I select a coilover spring by rate alone?

Match spring length, end style and the intended damper as well as the rate required for your setup.

What should I check for a brake conversion?

Review the complete spindle, hub and hydraulic requirements, wheel clearance and included components for the selected system.

How do I identify the right differential parts?

Use the installed axle model, spline count, carrier or ratio requirements and exact component reference.
