No, 35 + 4 x15 = 95, I round up. The last sentence was a joke as in 15lbs of air, i thought it might fit in with our current crop of ford thick, I mean tech.

Thanks for the compliments Tyler. As you can see, I am not a purist, but the capri parts are just to hard to come by.

Will those control arms accept a sway bar? I know most of the dragster guys throw theirs away but I’ll need one for auto crossing

The QA1's will take the sway bar mount. The motorsport ones I put on will also take the sway bar, they are basically the stock lowers w/ a better bushhing and frictionless 96^ style ball joint.

These were on the k when I weighed it, I did the stock w/ arms on and QA1 w/ motorsport arms on.

Ford101, w/ all eight bolts in hand tight i used the sway bar mount to get some measurements on the front to back. The k takes care of the side to side. I tightened the lower bolts first, and this did slide it forward a bit. I also cross taped the lower mounting point to sway bar mount to make sure I was sqaure to start with.
