Ridetech's TQ ShockWave Air Suspension for the GM F-Body 1970-1981 mounts just like a coilover and replaces the coil-spring with an adjustable air spring for a huge range of tuning options. These TQ ShockWaves use the same coilover-style, shock-within-a-spring construction as HQ, but step up to a full triple-adjustable damping package with a remote reservoir.
Triple Adjustable Damping
The TQ Series ShockWaves feature independent 24 position adjustment for rebound, high-speed compression, and low-speed compression, giving you full control over how the shock reacts to sharp hits versus how it settles under steady load. Dial in a comfortable street setting or chase the last bit of handling performance for the track.
TQ Series vs HQ Series ShockWaves
These TQ Series ShockWaves from Ridetech share the same bags and core hardware as the HQ Series. They still feature 1.834" pistons, ⅝" hardened shafts, impact-forged anodized bodies, and Ridetech's 1,000,001 mile warranty. The main difference comes down to how much damping control you get. The TQ adds a remote reservoir that unlocks high speed and low speed compression adjustment on top of rebound, something the single-adjustable HQ doesn't offer. These TQ ShockWaves for the GM F-Body 1970-1981 are best suited for heavy track use and for those seeking the most optimal handling characteristics, while the more budget-friendly HQ Series covers daily driving, weekend warriors and show cars.
