Designed and Manufactured in England since 1988
Every part of every product we sell is manufactured in our premises on the border of the South Downs National Park — with the bare minimum of sundry items bought in from established suppliers in the United Kingdom and Europe.
Originally Quantum Suspension Technology — founded by ex Penske and Fox Racing Shocks engineer Ken Anderson — QUANTUM was established for the sole purpose of supplying an innovative new shock to the Onyx Formula One team — and subsequently others including Arrows, Brabham, Ligier, Minardi and Tyrrell.
High profile success was quick to follow. Our first victory in Formula Three came in only the third round of our first season [1991] with Paul Stewart Racing’s David Coulthard — with the British, German, Italian and Japanese championships all being won on QUANTUM shocks the following year — and we assisted Dave Cook Racing’s Vauxhall factory backed team to the BTCC manufacturers’ title in '92 — our first stab at front wheel drive.
QUANTUM shocks have raced at every level of national and international motorsports including Formula Ford, Formula 3000, Formula Nippon, CART, DTM, NASCAR and Japanese GT — not to mention UK club racing classes including Sports 2000, Super Sports and Mini Miglia.

Rebuilds
All QUANTUM shocks are factory serviceable. A number of independent outfits offer shock rebuild services but, for absolute piece of mind, we recommend you entrust your shocks to those at QUANTUM — who have all the necessary specialist tools and only use the correct original equipment seals.
A full rebuild including shims, seals, oil and labour is £109 per shock plus VAT and shipping.
N.B. We only service QUANTUM shocks and we always recommend you entrust servicing of lesser brands to the original manufacturer.
Dyno Tests
QUANTUM can dyno test all brands of shock absorber on our in-house designed and manufactured shock dynamometer; and will advise on the condition and operation of your shocks before any remedial work is undertaken.
A dyno test costs £19.80 per shock plus VAT and shipping. A digital or hard copy of the dyno data can be provided on request.
