The three friend that have caps all had problems. Only one got it fixed and still uses front end, the other two gave up on it and replaced them with another brand. That is my experience with them.

STR makes a nice one for early a bodies. There is one in Brett's 66 Dart that goes 8.90s. Very reasonably priced.

They do suck ask One Bad Fish and the twenty hours of working on it to find out IT WOULD'VE NEVER WORK without the new parts Ray had to send him.
I have one in my dart and that sucked also.

Buy Bobs Profab and be done with it or talk to 67dart gt about his friends kit i here is also very nice

Thanks Ill have to look into it.

anyone have a link to str??

good luck getting one (STR) .....i spoke with Tory last year he was in the middle of a move i said np i can wait a couple months....well i waited forever tried contacting him several times never returned calls or emails even tried calling him a month ago and nothing.to bad i was in the market to buy two of them.

Did you try Bobs Pro Fab

I guess I should have said no one I know. If you want to get more in to it, my one friend bought it about 6 months before Ray sold out. He would return his phone calls till he had problems with the system, then no returned calls.

I got the Alterkation front end because it would get rid of the torsion bars, and the rack would clear my TTI 2 1/4" headers, and the steering link under the oil pan. Along with clearing almost any deep pan. The pan just has to have a small front notch, and that's it.

My cousin has one on his e-body challenger, and it drives like it is on rails.

The QA1 front kit is a lot less money, though...

Regards, Mark

I love Tory's front end. Love it!

Love mine too, and customer service is top notch...

We made our own K member.. virtually no camber or toe change through the range of motion..

I would say acceptable(way less than stock) camber and toe change. It looks a lot like the one on the Dart behind you.

The OP asked about QA1. Some of you are talking about QA1 and CAP as if they are one and the same. I don't think that's fair to QA1. I was over there at a plant tour when they were developing the QA1 K frame. I don't know whether they bought CAPs design or not, but whatever they did, they put their own design engineers on it. Judge it based on QA1 reveiws, not CAP reveiws.

I have both of them...take the decal off the qa1 and you wont know the difference...but I think the qa1 has mounts for the sway bar...

A local racer put one on his Duster. He still uses the torsion bars but added QA1 uppers, lowers, k frame and strut bars. I talked w/him about the set up, how it handles any problems w/installation or alignment. He said it installed w/o any issues and the alignment was perfect and drives down the track great. His actual words were " the car handles better than it ever has "

i love my qa1 k and lowers..i have full hotchkis tvs with qa1 k and lowers...

However lack of camber gain is often thought to be a downside. Unequal length arms is the intentional method used to achieve that gain, taking it away is seldom a goal.

QA-1 did buy Cap Automotive several years ago, did they change the general design no did they do some refinements I would say yes because of the previous comment about sway bar mounts,,I have everything that Cap built on my car with the exception of the K member,I just wish QA-1 would make one with a rack and pinion mount so I can trash can the stock steering box and still be able to use everything that I have now and not have to re-buy every thing.
