Installing the QA1 Pro Coil System, or any coilover in four minutes? A coilover is a type of shock that incorporates a coil spring as a single unit. Some come from the factory fully assembled, while others require you to mix and match to get the ride quality you want. The right coilover will also allow you to adjust both ride height and stiffness, simply by turning a nut, located near the bottom of the shock. Some of the more high-tech units even allow you to adjust the damping force of the shock.

Damien from QA1 gives us a quick walk-though of a Pro Coil System install on a GM G-body.

The video of this installation is roughly four minutes long. While it doesn’t show the complete installation, it does hit the highlights. It doesn’t show the assembly of the QA1 coilovers, however, assembly of the coilovers is a straightforward process.

The QA1 Pro Coil System kit comes with all the hardware you need to install.

What the video focuses on are parts of the installation procedure that might confuse people. The video shows you how to install parts like the upper and lower mounting brackets that come with the kit.

The video does give some good tips to help with the install.

The video also gives you some information regarding the installation of the QA1 Pro Coil System on a GM B-Body that is essential, but often overlooked by both the installer and the guy writing up the installation instructions. For example, it tells installers to only disconnect one side of the factory trailing arm at a time to keep the axle from twisting. This is the kind of information that typically only a professional installer is going to know.

One thing not mentioned in the video is that installers needs to fully unload the suspension first.
