8mm Aluminum Scalloped Tube - 13.5in.

The 8mm Aluminum Scalloped Tube - 13.5in. from QUICKCAR RACING PRODUCTS is a precision suspension component engineered for drag racing, circle track, and high-performance street applications where tube geometry directly impacts weight distribution and load transfer. This scalloped aluminum tube reduces unsprung mass while maintaining structural integrity, making it an ideal choice for racers and performance enthusiasts building custom suspension systems or fabricating frame modifications. Available in black anodized and natural finishes, the tube integrates seamlessly into both stock-based and full-custom chassis setups.

Constructed from lightweight aluminum alloy, the 8mm diameter tube features a scalloped (fluted) design that removes material strategically while preserving torsional and bending stiffness—critical for suspension arms and control links exposed to lateral g-forces and impact loads. The 1.25-inch female threaded ends accept standard suspension rod ends, clevises, or spherical bearings, allowing flexible mounting configurations across multiple vehicle platforms. At just 0.28 lbs per 13.5-inch length, this component significantly reduces overall vehicle weight compared to steel alternatives without sacrificing reliability, making it a smart investment for weight-conscious builds targeting improved acceleration and braking response.

Fabricators and tuners working on independent front suspension (IFS) conversions, four-link rear setups, and adjustable ladder bar systems benefit most from this tube's modular design and proven aluminum construction. Installation requires standard suspension hardware compatible with 1.25-inch female threads; ensure all fasteners are rated for your vehicle's weight and intended load. QUICKCAR Racing Products' reputation for tight tolerances makes this tube suitable for both street rods and serious race cars where suspension geometry precision directly translates to handling balance and predictability.
