So the sway bar tab on the QA1 LCA's is almost exactly in the same spot at the sway bar tab on the stock 73+ LCA's. I have a Hellwig 55905 (73+) sway bar on my Duster and was running it with factory LCA's with the 73+ sway bar tab locations when I switched to the QA1 LCA's. All I needed to do for the switch was shorten the end links. The horizontal location of the QA1 tabs is basically the same as the 73+ tabs, but because the height profile of the QA1's is shorter the tab is in a different vertical location, so the end link needed to be a little shorter.

So if you currently have a set of factory LCA's without sway bar tabs, you could just get the weld on kind and add them in what would amount to the 73+ sway bar tab location.

I have mine in line with each other, I just put them in the middle. I used the eccentric washer location to make sure they were in the same spot.

The UCA works fine even when they're set to opposite adjustments though, that's how you set a factory UCA for maximum caster- front adjuster all the way out, rear adjuster all the way in. For the static adjustment with the SPC's it wouldn't matter, there's enough adjustment there to get the static right regardless of how you set the eccentrics. But it would have an effect on the dynamic numbers because it would be changing the length of the UCA and the location of the UCA pivot points.

But you'd have to plot the geometry out yourself based on the measurements of the UCA pivot locations and upper ball joint location.
