I NEED HELP (QA1 TUBULAR FRONT SESPENSION)
Okay i bought the QA1 Tubular k member, and tubular a arms with coil over springs and they sent it without hardly any instructions at all. I have taken off my stock k member, removed the nuts from the stock a arms and the struts. Now i have started to assemble the new k member with a arms and coil over springs. my question is if anyone has this setup and can help me with completely mine? The a arms came with two washers per a arm and i am confused on what those are for.....i think maybe that they are spacing washers because there is a little play right now. also the a arms came with a grease fitting for the bottom of the a arm and im unsure of what to use for that, axle grease, white litheum grease...etc.? And also the fact that i have no idea how to install coilover springs on to the struts. do i have to take off the strut?? Does anyone have a link with better instructions or maybe some detailed pics?

These are the only pics I could find from when I installed my QA1 set up.

I have the stock struts, Did your k member come already assembled to the A arms?

If you got the QA1 coilover kit and springs then you need their threaded struts.
Aska specific question and maybe I can help.
