Part Number: DK01-GMS1

 

Part: Level 1 Full Handling Drag Kit

 

The QA1 Level 1 Full Vehicle Drag Kit for 1982–2003 Chevy S10 pickups is built for enthusiasts looking to improve straight-line performance without overcomplicating their setup. Designed for street-strip use, this kit focuses on improved weight transfer, better rear tire bite, and more consistent launches.

 

WEIGHT TRANSFER & LAUNCH PERFORMANCE

This Level 1 drag kit is designed to help the suspension work with the chassis during launch, improving rear tire loading and traction through the 60-foot.

 

Up front, QA1 Pro Coil aluminum double adjustable drag coil-over shocks feature a lighter front spring rate designed to store energy at the starting line and release it on launch. This controlled front-end rise helps transfer weight to the rear tires, improving bite and consistency off the line. Double adjustable valving allows independent tuning of compression and rebound to dial in extension speed and settle.

 

In the rear, Detroit Speed leaf springs provide a stable foundation for drag use while maintaining controlled suspension movement. Matched QA1 single adjustable rear shocks help manage rear separation and tire load, keeping the suspension composed during launch and down track.

Together, these components work as a system to improve traction, consistency, and overall straight-line performance compared to stock suspension components.

 

DRAG-READY DESIGN, BOLT-ON INSTALLATION

This QA1 Drag Kit is designed as a direct-fit, bolt-on solution for 1982–2003 S10 platforms. All components install using factory mounting locations with no welding required, making it ideal for racers who want performance gains without extensive fabrication.
