Im considering getting a tubular k member before the motor goes in for ease of installation... i will be taking it to the track maybe once or twice a month, but i want some good stability in the corners as well. If i get one, im thinking about getting tubular A arms, and some KYB front struts and 10 way adjustable rear shocks. Is the QA1 a good piece, or should i go with a different company?

I have ridden in two Fox's with that suspension isntalled and loved it. I think you would be very happy with that setup in your car.

i have the upr set up the full tubular k member and coil over conversion, dont forget you need new caster camber plates to do the coil over conversion. the best part of it is the adjustability of you front ride height and easy accessabilty to you exhaust and other stuff that the stock k member made hard to get to. the ride is a bit rougher but if you put your sway bar back on it does handle alot better than stock. not to mention that it lightens the car up ALOT. i say go for it .

I am with payup, i would see no reason NOT to go ahead and do it. The weight loss and header accessability would be reason enough, but then add your gained performance and its a win-win situation.

I like mine a lot. I used the KYB AGX struts on front. The only warning I'd give is to make sure the rear shocks you use will fit inside the coils. The KYB's were too big in diameter and it took a while to find what would work.
There's pictures of my set-up on the ground and installed on my site.
Good luck
