I got the RMS Alterkation for my 1968 super Bee...it replaces the torsion bars and has coil-over shock and rack steering. I am very impressed with it!

More expensive, but well worth it. I will eventually replace my GTX with one too.

IIRC member 70aarcuda's Duster has a QA1 K on it for some time. Pretty sure he's putting one on his other daughters Dart....

I know several guys running them for years with zero issues. Shouldn't bad mouth them, saying nobody likes them. It's flat not true

I have raced a few times over the years with Ray, the Canadian who started CAP back probably 10 years ago now. He campaigns a 65-66 ish Dart that runs mid 9's. Seen him at US131 a few times and chatted with him.
Real nice guy, and sold a good product, especially if your looking for more room.
I think there was a story a few years back about bad welds or something on one of the K members. Not cool, but not the norm.
Nobody is perfect but I have seen them in use and they seem to work well and be safe

I have one CAP and two QA1 k members...all fit just find...

One of the QA1 on 71 Duster has a torsion bar elimination kit from Geist Suspension...I am in the process of doing the same on the 71 Dart with a QA1 K member using the Kit from Hemi Denny...I basically finished it today except waiting on double adjustable shocks ..UPS says they will be here on Monday...

My Demon has the CAP K member and it has been in use for 5 or more years...

I have the old CAP with a rack and pinion in my 3500 LBS 69 GTX. Tons of room even with torsion bars and big headers on a 540 inch Hemi. The GTX drives as nice at 140 mph as my new SRT Challenger does.
If QA1 produces them with a rack I will be switching over my other Mopars. Don't believe EVERYTHING you see on the internet.

from what I've seen the "Alter K" is a really nice piece, and certainly robust enough for street duty. My K set up is pretty much track only as per chassis shop. Something you might keep in mind depending on usage.

I had a early CAP K member for 1963 to 1966 A bodys with stock steering and torsion bars that I sold to Mopar Billy, I beleive it is in his drag week Valient shruggy
Maybe he will see this post and chip in on his thoughts and results on his luck
I wanted one with front mount rack and pinion steering for A arms with coil over to eliminate the torson bars for more header clearances is the reason I didn't use it shruggy

I have a QA1 front end on my 67 Barracuda, it's probably the best driving Mopar I've ever owned, launches straight and steers like it's on rails.

I have looked at the QA1 at shows, just doesn't have enough improvements over a lightened stock K for me.
I run one of Tory's front ends and I'll never say what my car runs but I have no complaints in my fast small tire street car

Cab I had a chance to look Mopar Billys car over this year at drag week and He did mention that the K member he was running came from you. If you every get aline on another please keep me in mind Id like to put one on in my Valiant. up
