Universal QA1 2-1/2in ID High Travel Spring - 12in Length x 200lbs/in - Black Powder Coated

QA1 high travel springs deliver extended suspension motion for drag racing, street rods, and muscle cars like Camaro, Chevelle, and Nova with 2.5" ID coilover setups. Crafted from high-tensile chrome silicon wire, this 12" long, 200 lb/in rate spring features fewer coils and thinner wire for reduced weight and quicker response. The black powder coat resists corrosion while the design cuts unsprung mass to sharpen handling.

Key Features

  • High Travel Design: Increased coil spacing provides up to 2" more travel than standard springs for better bump absorption and control
  • Lightweight Construction: Chrome silicon alloy with 5.9 active coils and 0.120" wire diameter weighs only 3.65 lbs to lower unsprung weight
  • Precise Rate: 200 lb/in spring rate suits 2500-3500 lb vehicle corners in front or rear applications
  • Durable Finish: Black powder coating protects against rust and chips in harsh racing environments
  • Made in USA: Lifetime guarantee maintains spring height and rate within 2% under normal use

  • Sold individually for custom coilover or shock builds
  • Free height 12" OD 3.875" compressed height 8.5" with 3.5" max travel
  • Ships in 14" x 4" x 4" protective tube weighing 4 lbs total

Installation Notes

Coilover Springs

Coilover Springs

Coilover springs are the replaceable compression springs that wrap around the shock body in a coilover assembly, determining ride height, spring rate, and the balance between comfort and handling stiffness. Swapping springs is the most direct way to tune a coilover setup for a new application without buying an entirely new system.Popular UpgradesLinear-rate springs in the 6 to 12 kg/mm range are the most popular choice for street performance and track day builds where predictable handling is more important than maximum compliance. Progressive-rate springs that soften on small bumps and stiffen under load are preferred for street cars that need to be both comfortable on rough roads and controlled in hard cornering. ID60 and ID65 springs are the most common inner diameter specifications across popular coilover platforms.What is the difference between linear and progressive coilover springs?A linear spring has a constant rate from full droop to full compression, providing consistent an...
