the QA1 K-member allows for use of stock springs, but the QA1 tubular arms, do not.

I run eibach drags with my stock arms on a QA1 K-member. If I could do it over again, I'd be running an AJE k-member and Tubular A-arms. Theirs has the spring pockets that allow for stock style spring use!

and your strut selection is based on the spindle you are using... NOT the K-member

Ehh? Not really, Im using SN95 spindles with fox struts. People say get sn95 struts because its like... 2% easier to install the struts.

With most tubular control arms they require coil over conversions. Not tubular K members.
