Found them through chetpco's suggestion. They now have an online website in addition to their ebay stuff.

I highly recommend them. Great prices ($740 for 4 QA1 shocks/springs/shipping), nice to deal with, quick, and everything in stock.

I found them through racingjunk.com and was planning on using them as well. Good to hear positive feedback.

I've gotten all my rod ends and threaded inserts through those guys. Great prices. Great service.

I bought my QA1's from them last Friday. Good price and they say they're on the way. They don't sell much besides the shocks. QA1 makes a lot of other related stuff, like shock rubber bumpers, bearings to make the collars easier to adjust, etc. I would have bought those from them had they sold them.

Just received my shocks last night from them. Had a minor scare - I opened the box to find 4 shocks and 2 springs.

A quick phone call this morning to Josh confirmed that the other two were coming direct from QA-1 as they were out of stock. It would have been nice to get a little note or something in the box telling me this so I didn't think a mistake was made. I was a little grumpy last night to say the least.

Overall they get a thumbs up from me.
