I just bought a MM k-member and QA1 front coilover for my 87 GT. Im having a problem with clearance. The QA1 struts is hitting the control arms .. the reason might be that my car has SN95 spindles

Any ideas? suggestions?

Did you buy these parts used? What year are the Qa1 coilovers for? Is the base of the strut hitting the control arm? What control arms do you have?

Thank You for your response ..

-The parts are new.
-The coilovers are for 79-93 mustangs. I got them from summit racing. Part# HAL-H2001.
-The K-member and control arms are Maximum Motorsports. I bought them from 50resto.
-K-member part# MM-MMKM1.
-Control Arms part # MM-MMFCA5 .. front offset.
-The base of the strut is hitting the control arm. I tried to relocate the control arm to the lower mounting position, but the strut will also hit the control arm and the geometry will be messed up as the control arms would not be vertical.

I used to run AJE k-member and control arms, with strange engineering struts and Granatelli coilovers without problems, but the handling was not so good for agressive street driving.
