Fits: 1982-2003 GM Chevy S10 2WD

 

Part Number: HK01-GMS1

 

Part: Level 1 Full Handling Kit

 

The QA1 Level 1 Full Vehicle Handling Kit for 1982–2003 Chevy S10 pickups is designed for enthusiasts who want better control, a cleaner stance, and a more confident driving feel without overcomplicating the build. This system improves front and rear suspension performance while keeping installation straightforward and street friendly.

 

Engineered as a matched package, this kit delivers predictable results by addressing shocks, springs, and sway control together, giving your S10 a balanced upgrade from nose to tail.

 

PERFORMANCE & STANCE YOU CAN FEEL 

Designed to lower the front up to 2 inches and the rear up to 3 inches, this Level 1 handling kit delivers controlled ride quality, reduced body roll, and improved steering response for everyday street performance.

 

Up front, QA1 single adjustable Pro Coil aluminum coil-over shocks let you fine-tune ride firmness to match your driving style. Adjustable valving helps manage body motion while maintaining comfort, giving the truck a more planted feel through corners and under braking.

 

A 1-1/4-inch QA1 front sway bar further sharpens handling by reducing body roll and improving front-end stability. Paired with the coil-over system, it delivers a noticeable improvement in steering feel and overall control compared to stock suspension components.

 

Out back, 3-inch drop leaf springs provide a lowered stance while maintaining proper spring rates for ride quality and stability. Matched QA1 single adjustable rear shocks help keep the rear suspension composed over bumps and during acceleration.

 

BOLT-IN CONVENIENCE, NO GUESSWORK 

This QA1 Handling Kit is designed as a direct-fit, bolt-on solution for 1982–2003 S10 pickups. Components are selected and validated to work together, eliminating the trial-and-error.
