I know this might be a stupid question...don't even know if it possibale....but I know thew control arms have an offset in them from front to back, and maybe, by chance did you put the drivers side on the passenger side and vise versa? The one way you can tell is to look and see where the sway bar end link hole is in the control arm, it should be in the front.

it was to this i was wondering why he would switch tubular k's since he already had the qa1 in the car why not just buy the rest of the qa1 kit and finish it

I might just be interested in those Strange Drag Struts. Ask 5.0Stanger AKA Mr. Kyle. I'm good on my word when I say I want and or will buy them. You figure up what you want for them and let me know via email or call me at work at 337-314-1260 or 1261. Ask for Big Chris, I usually answer the phone but anyhow, I been wanting to get a set of struts for the front end.

The reason for looking at swappin k-members instead of finsihing the kit is I have all brand new poly urthane bushings in the arms, brand new ball joints, and brand new strange drag struts, I was thinking instead of selling all those parts that I could just sell the k-member....
