Since you get get like $140-$150 off the regular price I figure if I was gonna get one now would be the time. UPR sales theirs only weighs like 19lbs so it takes like ~70lbs off the front end. But you HAVE to change over to coil overs. If you change to coil overs does that mean you just get rid of the coils springs all together? Since their kit comes with lower tubular A-arms anyways. Is this even worth doing? Especially since I would be forced to have someone else install all of it.

I'd go with Kenny Brown's, Maximum Motorsports, or Griggs's, if it's a street car.
87_5point0 said:Do you think they arent as strong or what? Cause they are just like everyone else, they say they are as strong as you would ever need in a street car or race car.

wayne94mustang said:i got it from summit ...and yeah im useing all the stock suspention on it...i even called the company when i got it and talked to the owner of q1a (qa1...what ever ) and he told me there k-meber was made for the street witch is harder on the member then raceing...i didnt weigh it so i dont know how much lighter it is but keep in mind the real light ones arent as strong

wayne94mustang said:all i know is i use my car hard,harder then most and in the 3-4 years iv had the qa1 it never gave me a problem...or to the other 4 iv installed on friends cars and id get another one in a sec if it did ever fail
kscoyote said:QA1 is the lightest by far!
Street is harder than drag racing, but Road Racing? Esp. endurance racing?
He's out of his mind!
I like most of QA1s stuff, but I've heard about 'em sagging, & flexing -That was some time ago, so who knows, maybe they've fixed the problem.
87_5point0 said:QA1 is the lightest by far? All their ads say they only take 28 lbs off the weight of the car. Others like UPR take off like 70 lbs.
markwondi said:that's because UPR adds in the weight loss of tubular A-Arms and collovers... and UPR is chromoly design.
For the record, QA1 is NOT, and i repeat NOT the lightest k-member in production. And in my opinion (yes, i have an opinion), QA1's POS k is junk.

87_5point0 said:Ok then, in your opinion what is the best k member that will take the beating and last and is light as f*ck?
wayne94mustang said:qa1 gives a longer wheel base and the option for a 1 inch motor set back
kscoyote said:If I recall correctly, Steeda's selling QA1s in their catalogue,
Like I said, maybe they've redesigned it . . .
