Product Description:
Hawks Motorsports offers our clients this 1978-1988 GM G-Body QA1 Level 3 Full Vehicle Handling Kit | Without Shocks | HK33-GMG1 for enthusiasts looking to significantly improve cornering performance, chassis control, and overall driving confidence. QA1 engineered this Level 3 handling package as a complete bolt-in suspension upgrade that works seamlessly with factory mounting locations while allowing customers to select their preferred shocks and spring rates.
Available as part of QA1's three-stage handling system, the Level 3 package features suspension components engineered to maximize handling performance while maintaining excellent street manners. QA1 designed these kits so they can be installed in stages, allowing future upgrades without compatibility concerns.
This version is supplied without shocks, providing additional flexibility for heavily modified vehicles or custom suspension combinations. Because shocks are not included, this kit also does not include springs, thrust bearing kits, or spanner wrenches, allowing customers to choose spring rates that best match their specific vehicle weight and intended use. QA1 handling kits are designed around average-weight small block and LS-powered GM G-Body vehicles in stock trim, while the Level 3 package utilizes stiffer spring rates when equipped with optional springs to maximize cornering performance.
