C5 Corvette (1997–2004) QA1 Front Pro Coil-Shock System MG455-08550
Give your 1997–2004 C5 Corvette a major suspension upgrade with the QA1 Front Pro Coil-Shock System MG455-08550. This MOD-Series coil-over kit replaces the factory front leaf-spring / shock assembly with a modern, fully adjustable coil-over suspension — for sharper handling, adjustable ride dynamics, and track-ready performance without sacrificing street comfort.
QA1 Front Pro Coil-Shock System Details
This front coil-over system comes assembled with high-quality springs and premium, 4-way adjustable dampers designed specifically for C5 front suspension geometry. The modular-valve design allows you to tune low-speed and high-speed compression and rebound without removing the shocks from the car — giving you fine control over weight transfer, ride feel, and road feedback. All components use corrosion-resistant hardware and bolt directly to factory mounting points — no custom fabrication needed.

Their MOD-Series front coil-overs deliver modern suspension behavior to classic chassis, balancing ride comfort and performance tuning in one bolt-on package. Whether you commute daily, carve canyons, or hit the track — QA1 gives predictable, tunable performance.
