QA1 Stocker-Star TN510 Front Shock Product Details
The QA1 Stocker-Star TN510 is a fixed-valve front shock designed around C5 Corvette suspension geometry. With a travel range from approximately 11-1/8" collapsed to 16" extended and a stud/T-bar mounting configuration, it bolts directly into OEM locations. Internal valving is tuned to provide smooth damping and balanced rebound for street driving, spirited cruising, and mild performance use, with a corrosion-resistant finish for long-term durability.
Why QA1 Front Shocks Work So Well on C5 Corvettes
QA1 designs its Stocker-Star line for real-world driving on performance cars like the C5. Instead of a generic universal shock, the TN510 is matched to Corvette weight, suspension angles, and front-end load, giving you predictable handling and consistent response. For owners who want a solid upgrade that feels better than worn factory shocks, without the extra tuning of adjustable units, this is a smart, dependable choice.
