You've seen the QA1 handling kits. You probably got one on order.
Today let's take a look at the boxes and find out what's in them!
(Music)
Hey it's Steve! It's like Christmas here today. I'm Steve this is Damien Brase
from our technical department and we figured
let's do some unboxing today and everybody loves
opening boxes like Christmas so let's get to it.
How do you know that one's for you? Did you check the tag? Yeah
it's got my name on it. Well let me have one you've got all those other ones!
All right so this is the QA1 complete handling kit.
Comes with everything you need for your car.
What are you opening? I don't know that's what makes it fun!
I just want to find out what's in the box!
But there's a part number that tells you what's in it. That would be very
corporate of us...
Oh look at that Damien! What do you got Steve? I got
lower control arms this is the race series lower control arms
all the bushings installed ball joints greasable.
All the geometry enhancements added just ready to bolt on the car.
Nice. I got upper control arms ball joints installed low friction
ready to go bushings cross shafts this one's pretty much ready to bolt on
the car. Oh yeah even even comes with the hardware here so
that one's ready to go on the car.
Oh my favorite part about Christmas...POW!
Oh there's some large ones. These look like the thrust bearings here
so these are the thrust bearings that help make the ride height adjustments.
Two sets two sets front and rear. oh ball joint uh ball joint removal tool
so this is the spanner and the the hex head and that
is what allows us to make any adjustments we need
to the ball joint here
we could change out the studs if we wanted to.
What do you got over there? I got rear coil-over brackets
comes with instructions. Rear coil-over brackets.
These are probably the shocks for it. Stickers! Full-on hardware kit you don't have to
go to the hardware store and find hardware.
There's the rear shocks for that bracket kit.
And yep two of them! Nice zinc plated brackets.
All the hardware! Upper and lower everything's ready to go.
And then here's I believe these are the springs.
Yep! High travel springs!
Made right here in the USA.
Probably hold onto the...Steve drops spring...
That one's rolling!
Good thing it's metal!
Okay got it! Nice work Steve! All right so there's one of the springs.
All right there's all of our brackets. So we've got all the brackets for the rear
coil-overs. We've got the two shocks and I won't drop this one
and the springs. So there's
the rear coil-over kit with the hardware.
The front springs.
Oh important is the spanner wrenches! Make the ride height adjustments.
They are kind of handy to have. Yeah.
Let's see here...
Oh here's the uh frame braces!
Those are pretty overlooked I think as far as the handling kit.
A lot of people don't realize how much how much
these help with stabilizing the frame and keeping everything rigid. A lot of
these frames are older cars. Comes with all the hardware
to put that on so that's good.
Lower trailing arms! Oh nice! Bushings installed grease fittings.
All powder-coated. Yeah mounts for the sway bar built into them. Those are nice. Those are real nice.
Just hang them on the wall. Just hang them on the wall?
These are gonna be...oh these are the
front shocks for the uh front coil-over kit.
Comes with all the hardware that'll go with those guys. Oh
i got a hardware kit! Hardware kit. Trailing arm hardware kit. All of this stuff
should have hardware kits uh just ready to bolt onto the car.
With the complete handling kits there's you don't need anything else.
You have everything QA1 makes for the car. Well maybe outside of like a
carbon fiber driveshaft. Oh we can make one of those! Oh yeah!
That's that. What's in this one? You get all the big boxes you must have
been really good this year. Upper trailing arms adjustable. Check
those out! With the hardware greaseable.
Sway bar mounting kit. More hardware. Powder-coated shims.
These adjustable trailing arms are really nice for adjusting
pinion angle.
All anodized with the QA1 logo on them.
Rear sway bar. Yeah that's nice!
I want the last box Damien! That's the last one? I thought there was more.
Yeah. -Oh man. I did pretty good on the smaller ones.
So there's the rear sway bar let me make you some room there.
This stuff's all packed really well.
which is good for our opening style.
You could really open this like Christmas day and not damage anything.
There's the front sway bar.
More stickers cotter pins. Oh yeah. Nice!
You could fill up your whole shop fridge with those. Look at that guy!
Nice! The finish is really nice on these. That one's nice and light because it's
hollow. Here's the hardware for that front sway
bar. You got the nice machined ends on it.
Yeah they don't usually look like that on on most aftermarket sway bars.
Or factory ones for that matter. Here's the
sway bar end links.
And some mounting brackets new poly bushings go in the diff.
Well I I think we've got a whole handling kit here! Looks like we did
pretty good for ourselves today. I got the uh I got the control arm lower
control arms over here with the ball joints all ready to go in. I got the
uppers. There's the uppers. Assembled ready to
bolt on. They're going to make a great geometry improvement help the car
drive better. Yeah the powder coat finish is really nice on those
too. The front coil-overs to go along with those with the high
travel springs. Front and rear sway bars
mounting hardware new poly bushings new end links
hardware kit with the bushing grease. Yeah I really like everything comes with
its own instructions so lots of instructions detailed stuff
there. Rear coil-over kit here with all the bracketry hardware
springs here. Got the tie rod sleeves. These are really awesome the uh you know
those clamp style? Yeah those are terrible. Gross. Nothing
better than trying to adjust the crusty old tie rod sleeves with vice
grips and pliers. Would never do it. Sometimes a pry bar.
Yeah. We got the lower trailing arms nice
big boxy powder coated all ready to go.
Sway bar mounts built into them. Adjustable upper trailing arms
new bushings for the diff. Yeah those are really hard to share with the
pinion angle. Frame braces. I think these get overlooked a lot. Yeah.
But they add a lot to to the stability. Yeah help reinforce the
frame help reinforce the trailing arm mounts
keep your pinion angle where it should be with the new adjustable
trailing arms. We've got our spanner wrenches thrust bearings. I think
you got the thrust bearings. Yeah we're ready to go. I think we're ready to go. I
think so. Okay. Thanks for watching our unboxing
