A Variable-Rate 2-1/2in high-travel spring Coilover Spring Rated at 140/250lbs/in
QA1 part number QAP10HT140/250 is a 2-1/2in inside-diameter coilover spring, 10in long, rated at 140/250lbs/in, finished in Silver Powder Coated. QA1 builds its high-travel springs from high-tensile chrome-silicon alloy wire with fewer coils and a smaller wire diameter, reducing unsprung weight and increasing travel between coils, per the manufacturer's product description.
This is a universal coilover spring sized by inside diameter, free length and spring rate rather than tied to a specific vehicle. Confirm the shock body's coilover thread and the spring perch's inside diameter match this spring before ordering.
Key Features
- 2-1/2in inside diameter, 10in free length, 140/250lbs/in spring rate
- Silver Powder Coated finish
- Chrome-silicon alloy spring wire, cold wound, heat treated and shot peened per QA1
- Squared and ground ends for straight, consistent operation
- QA1 states its springs are lifetime guaranteed to remain within 2% of original free height and rate under normal operating conditions
- Variable-rate design changes spring rate through its compression travel

2-1/2in.
What is the free length of this spring?
10in.
What spring rate is this spring rated at?
140/250lbs/in, per QA1's part number and title.
What finish does this spring have?

What warranty does QA1 offer on this spring?
QA1 states its springs are lifetime guaranteed to remain within 2% of the original free height and rate under normal operating conditions.
Can this spring be compressed to coil-bind without affecting rate?
QA1's product description states its coil design allows compression to coil-bind without affecting spring rate or free height.
Is the spring rate and length marked on the spring?
Yes. QA1 states all its springs are clearly marked with free length and spring rate for identification.
What makes this a high-travel spring?
QA1 builds high-travel springs with fewer coils and a smaller wire diameter than standard springs, increasing the distance between coils and overall travel.
Installation Instructions
QA1 does not publish a vehicle-specific installation procedure for this spring; use standard coilover spring-compression practice and the shock manufacturer's ride-height guidance.
- Confirm the shock body's coilover thread and the spring perch's inside diameter match this spring's 2-1/2in ID.
- Measure available install length against this spring's 10in free length before compressing it onto the shock.
- Use a spring compressor to safely compress the spring onto the shock body and perch.
- Thread the adjuster ring to the ride height specified for the vehicle or setup being tuned.
- Verify the spring seats squarely on both ends before releasing the compressor.
- Cycle the suspension through its travel and check for coil-bind clearance before returning to service.
