I'm on a really tight budget and timeline to get my car on the road. I was looking at the qa1 coilovers. I was just wondering if it'll work with the stock lower and upper control arms on a 67 camaro? Sorry for all the questions but it's my first time working on these cars.

I was originally trying to buy the road assault package but I might just piece it together separately later on down the road.

i just used them on mine....i am all tubular and they bolted right up . top of the spring goes right in the pocket of the frame and the bottom bolts in the control arm like factory.....tubular or factory qa1 has a bolt in kit

they will work, the only concern i would have is the durability of the lower control arm shock mounting location, the factory arms are very think material and after 40 years of corrosion who konows.
other than that your good to go.
