Qa1 Strut
Ill have to check that out. Did not even cross my mind. I was pretty focused on the unequal length a arm setup.

k member good for drag or curves
Is this setup more for straightline or will it suit a road racing type application. I want to go fast through the twisties.

strut suspension on paper does not sound very good when compared to a SLA. but it actually performs very well. It was origally desinged to be a cheaper OEM suspension that would allow more room in the engine compartment.
i have a 95 mustang with stock strut suspension and coilovers. i can pull 1G with a 245 sumitomo tire on all four corners.My build thread: https://www.pro-touring.com/showthre...ing&highlight=

altho the QA1 k member may be a little light duty it could be strengthened up to handle the corners, you could also check out a SN95 k member 94up but the track width is a bit wider than the earlier years, the strut set up is a good way to go . look at the saleen and steeda road race cars, hard to argue with that!!!
big factor will be the width but even if you had o have some one off lowr control arms and manual rack made??? then agai you may not need it at all migth work with a high off set wheel??
