i see a qa1 for 220$ and thats close to my limit money wise, is it a good investment? i would most likely want to keep the stock A arms and stock struts and springs (possible lowering springs or cut a bit off the ones i have). I will also be switching to 18x9 rims 5 lug with cobra brakes. thanks for any opinions commmets.

I did an 89 hatch project w/motor rebuild and 5 speed conversion.I sanded down,primed,painted eng compartment,rebuilt the framerails and installed a QA-1 K with stock springs and a-arms.I liked it overall,install was easy but the front track moving out and forward didn't please me.I didn't do one on my last coupe project that I 5 lugged for that reason.It did drive and align good.Car went 13.3 on a street tire with ported E7's,explorer intake,stock cam w/1.7's,shorties and flows,4.10's.

If you do a complete K-member swap you will save almost 100 lbs.

How much is that K mem going to move the front wheels?I think the 18x9 will be tight already with the stock K will it fit with the QA1?
