Big News in the suspension world came out yesterday with the public announcement of QA1’s acquisition of Speedtech Performance USA. Everyone knows about QA1’s offerings for street, pro-touring, and drag racing enthusiasts with their complete line of suspension systems, shocks, and subframes, but the addition of Speedtech to the QA1 family really takes the two companies to a new level. While both companies cover many of the same applications, the depth of those offerings is now at a whole new level. Here’s the announcement from QA1 below, and we can’t wait to see what other great things these two brands build together.
