What Our Clients Say

Just wanted to give you some feedback. At our first two outings this season after fitting the Quantum Zeros to our classic race Mini we have seen immediate improvements of 2 seconds per lap at Snetterton 300 and 3 seconds per lap at Thruxton compared with last year with the same engine. The car feels more stable and has definitely stopped bouncing down the straights.

The damper set arrived today and I wanted to take a minute to thank you and the whole team for the excellent work. The craftsmanship and engineering that went into these shows just by looking at them. I am very picky when it comes to quality, but these dampers look flawless and I am sure they will perform the same way. I cant wait to install them in a few weeks from now and drive them next summer. I deal with lots of companies for that project car (mainly in the UK and US) and can guarantee you, that your company is top notch. Everything was handled in a professional and very customer oriented way from beginning until end. If I should ever "build" a car like this again, I will for sure come back to you.Again, a big thanks to you and the Quantum Team

As you know Miglia has mandated Ohlins, these arrive in a shiny printed box (waste of money and probably doesn’t recycle as well) but the dampers are nothing like as lovingly packed inside……and rose joint incerts are extra Whoever packs yours is really neat with the tape, and they are always the same…..it just says professional to me!

Just wanted to send a big thank you for the service and quality of Quantum as a whole. The peugeot had its first outing on its new dampers at the weekend. Managed to shave 2.3 seconds off his best ( not solely down to dampers but a large contribution) and gave him a lap time of 2.10.0 around snetterton 300. A respectable time I hope! So once again thank you for an amazing set of dampers. I look forward to the next car I can improve with Quantums now.

Hi Guys A bit delayed, but just to let you know the shocks you built performed well and have allowed me to take a step and close the gap to the Experts. I managed to win my class and more importantly finish 5th overall in the Live axle category against the national competitors. Thanks go to you and your team. Regards

Now that I have some time and miles on these dampers, I wanted to follow up and tell you how very happy I am with them. While I thought that my 2011 Lotus Elise handled very well as it came to me with the factory Bilstein shocks, and standard springs, adding the Quantum dampers and uprated springs has taken it to another level entirely. The car just feels so completely planted now, and is very, very confidence inspiring. Thank you for a great product.I would also like to thank you for all your help and advice. That kind of customer service is missing so often these days, and I really appreciate when someone like you offers such great service.Thanks again

In the meantime, the new suspension still feels brilliant and really has transformed the car, so thank you again. The rears definitely benefitted from the bump stop and stiffer springs, I dare say slightly harder wouldn’t hurt.

Our Story

In 1991 Quantum expanded its horizons by introducing a version of the F1 damper to the British Formula 3 Championship, which was met with almost instant success. Paul Stewart Racing’s David Coulthard scored the company’s first F3 victory in the third round of the series at Donington Park and, in doing so, began a winning record that continues to this day. This success is one of the defining moments in the company’s history as it set us a reputation that has only grown since then.

Today the company is owned and operated by Patrick Murphy, formerly a number one mechanic with the Benetton Formula F1 team. Murphy joined the company in 1992 when former owner and ex-Penske Racing Shocks engineer Ken Anderson was managing a short-lived Quantum operation in the USA.

Quantum has developed many bespoke products that meet the requirements of the FIA Appendix K for the historic car market. This is because of the company’s in-house manufacturing capabilities that it has developed in recent years. We have also remanufactured suspension for F1 cars from the late 80s and early 90s, including several that did not use Quantum shock absorbers in that period.

Our Mission

Our mission is steeped in continued development in dampers and shock absorbers beyond the current F1 technology. We aim to quantify performance, improve design, and a level of service to suit all the car requirements.

Quantum shocks are made to order.
