post it on corral, you may get lucky, but be prepared for some insane offers. you might do better just to put a dollar figure on them and buy a set of QA1's rather than say trade. also if you have anebay account put them up for 30 days with a reserve price that you are comfortable with. they will most likely sell that way. but corral will low-ball you till you are purple in the face or ask for pics and then you will never hear from the people again. also you can say that you have them in your sig like "upr control arms pm for price"

In for the "why are my front wheels rubbing when i turn" post,lol....i'll never run another qa1 k member or non adjustable a arms. They push the wheels forward roughly an inch...can get away with it tho if you get the adjustable arms and flip them over. I do like their shocks/struts tho...when they aren't leaking.



Racecraft inc. or team z...just my opinion.

FWIW, I havent heard anything good about QA1 and UPR is supposedly even worse. I dont know anything about racecraft except that saleen used them a lot, but team Z is top notch in my experience.

I've installed 3 qa1 k members and the only car that had the wheels pushed forward had the tubular a arms with the coil overs. I have the qa1 k member with stock control arms and the wheelbase is the same, same with the 82 GT I installed one on.

Yes, its the a arms that push the wheels forward. I will only run the same manufacturer regarding k members, a arms....why mix and match? Thats why i wouldn't run the qa1 k member...no other reason.

There are ways around having the wheels pushed forward also, people have used turnbuckles flaring out the fender. The road track guys have done it quite a bit.

No upr product will ever get near my cars.

theres nothing wrong with UPR, BS internet rumors... they sell thousands of parts and anytime there is a company that mass produces products they will have bad parts from time to time.

Everyone says bad stuff about UPR, but the stuff on my car is quality, and ive seen 100's of people bashing UPR but only one person that had a defective part post pics... if they were that bad dont you think more pics of junk parts would be floating around?

I put a set of team Z uppers in my car, and honestly i wasnt that impressed, they are nice, good quality but my buddies UPR uppers are definitly beefier.
