QA1 Front suspension

Motormouth said

So being that I have only ran stock k member and control arms before this, I have no experience with the cap stuff. I am sure there are plenty of threads about it. From what I have been told QA1 has done alot of testing before sending it out, to make sure there are no issues.
Furthermore, I have been a mopar guy since before I could drive and its nice to see that we are finally having more options in the aftermarket.
This system happens to work nice for me because I can use parts that I already have, such as firm feel box and torsion bars. This is a backyard built car, not a shop build, so when offered the chance to try some new parts I said "Hell Yeah!"
Everyone is entitled to their own thoughts and opinions. I am not telling anyone what to buy or how to do things, all I am doing is tryin to show some new parts that are going on my car.
Cheers!

I'm sure quite a lot of testing WAS done, and taking a closer look at the parts I can say the the UCA's and LCA's have changed. The UCA's have changed a lot, adding a pad for the bump stop and leaving more tube material around the ball joint. The shape of the arms changed as well, that was actually why I stopped running the UCA's, they hit my rims when I went to 17x9's. The LCA has changed a bit as well, on mine you can see that its a single tube that runs out from the torsion bar/adjuster part, on the new ones it appears that an additional tube was slid over the original to reinforce it at the shock mount. Even just looking at the CAP stuff I had, there were a few simple things that could have greatly improved the strength, and it appears that QA1 has taken those steps.

I think the new stuff looks great, and at the price they still have it at I think its a good thing. I'm not sure that I'll be buying any of it soon now that I have reinforced my original K's and LCA's, but I'm interested to see how it performs. I'd bet that it will do just fine, as QA1 has a pretty good reputation in the industry.
