QA1 front set-up
« on: August 11, 2014 - 06:14:44 PM »
Has anyone installed a complete QA1 front suspension yet with their upper and lower control arms, strut rods, and tubular k member. I did a couple of searches unable to find any feed back. Curious to see how they worked out, considering this myself.

I think QA1 bought the suspension design from the CAP auto products before they went out of business. I am sure they improved on the quality but I personally don't know anyone who has used it. I believe there is a thread over on moparts.com about it.  :bigsmile:

Joe, seriously??? You have Dan the Man in town and you're not going with Hotchkis parts?   ;D  Actually using the QA1 tubular k-member with all the other Hotchkis parts might be a really trick setup (provided the QA1 quality is there).  I know Dan was interested in checking out the QA1 k-member in person.

If all things went according to plan, I wanted to do the QA1 tubular K-frame and lower control arms, then everything else hotchkis
