QA1 Drag Race control arms are built to improve launch and weight transfer. The QA1 Ultra Low Friction ball joint and composite bushings provide bind-free movement, and the adjustable droop stop lets the driver dial in front end rise during the launch. Billet aluminum shafts reduce front end weight while high strength tubing keeps the arms durable enough for street use, and the double shear lower mounting is configured for QA1 Pro Coil systems. The arms are robotically welded and powder coated.
