qa1 vs hemi k member

[1974dodgecharger]

What would yous pick? I can do a qa1 setup and was told was better than stock k member of mopar, but would need adapters for hemi total costs roughly 880 bucks vs a hemi k member that has been freshed up for roughly 850 or so.

I just put a QA1 in my car.  I like it overall but either k-member will work fine.  It's all about which one you prefer.

Does it seem stiffer? Im leaning towards qa1 due to open space Ness of it all...u have any pics?

You are going to have to add a 70 style sway bar to that cost and modify you lower control arms. Your Hotchkis 68-69 sway bar won't work with the QA1 K member.

Oh man, really. ...that adds to costs for sure....now I gotta think.  I was g9nna get their lower arms anyways.....

Yes that is correct.  I should have mentioned that.  Thanks Clayton.       I also went with their lower control arms and their sway bar.   You cant use the factory 69-back type sway bar.   The k-member is plenty stiff, but so is the factory one that has been upgraded (stiffened).  I do think the QA1 k-member was an upgrade, but looks also played a part for me.  I think it looks cool for all the front suspension to be tubing.     That pro touring look is what my theme is.  I have pictures but I am absolutly horrible at posting on this site ( that's why I don't have a build thread) but I can email or text you some pictures if you want to private message me your info.

Here is another thread about the QA1 stuff.    http://www.dodgecharger.com/forum/index.php/topic,123063.0.html

What don't you like about it?

I like everything about it.  The mounts for the strut bars could be a little beefier but I'm sure they will hold up fine.
