you have to modify the qa1 cross member to make the control arm nut fit, which is stupid considering it is constructed to fit that car so you have to modify a part that is made for your car. ghey. get a AJE cross member much better design

imo get upr or another company. i hear the qa1's don't bolt up right and look flimsy and cheap. spend the money on another brand.

I have a QA1 and love it, everything bolted up real easy and its super light compared to the stock parts. If you want to keep the stock style springs in the front you can use the stock control arms and there's a spring perch that bolts in where the k-member bolts in.

well worth the money, and with their aluminum adjustable struts I saved over 100lbs.

i wouldn't waste my time with them.
the guy who bought my 88 got one and it's just a bad design.
a AJE is a good k-member, it's worth the extra money, it actually fits correctly with no modification haha

im not saying that qa1 is the best or anything, but I installed mine with no modifications except taking out the stock one and bolting in the tubular one.
