QA1 K member and A arm Questions
 

I installed the K member and have been kicking around the adjustable A arms vs. The non-adjustable A arms. The adjustable arms are twice the price of the non adjustables. Anybody other than Steve have any advise on the choice and pro's vs. con's? these are going into a 89 coupe

I dont really see the need for the adjustable arms unless you are more into serious handling

that's what I'm thinking...but Steve B said I really should go adjustable....

it is because the k-member pushes the wheels 1 inch farther forward, which on my car hit the front of the fenders with the tires, i have skinny's i couldn't imagine a full size tire. the only way around it is to put the front end sky high, which looks like shit.

do you even have a mustang with a tubular k- member? or ever had, or installed one?

Seems with the QA1 K that if you use "stock" A arms it moves the tires forward. Use the QA1's A-arms and everything is normal.
Also I could not imagine the QA1 in anything other than a drag car.

Im really lost on how it helps, unless you are saying you tuck the tires in more into the fender well?

unfortunately that was not the case with their street arms. they also pushed forward.

actually both push the wheels farther out to where you can see the tread outside of the wheel well, IE standing in front of the car, you can see tire, so i am cutting mine shorter, and re threading the arm to correct this which should also bring my camber back in line.

and to further emphasize my point, i was unable to use the spacers as the instructions stated, BECAUSE THEY PUSHED THE WHEELS FORWARD, i.e made the wheel base longer.

i don't understand why people who do not have these exact products in question don't believe me and seem to think they know so much about them. if you don't know what your talking about, then don't say anything, thats bad tech.

I called QA1 and they said it will push the tires out further. They said if you use the size tire rated for that year...you will not have a problem. Guess what...if I do...A&E will have them back...no joke.

my buddy is using a Granatelli tubular K- member and coil over kit and it doesnt look like it pushed the wheels to far out
