MS68EFTI please post a picture of that 1 3/8 bar when you receive it.


Thanks,
Hi
MoparAL




I have the new QA1 1 3/8" R&D bar in my shop now. This is a 70 B/E body version that fits the K-Members. I have been asking for the heavier bar for track applications and so they made me one. Only one in existence now, but I imagine if all goes well it will be an afforable option with the K-member.




Nice , is it solid or hollow?




This is hollow.



NICE!

I would say that the K-member is ready along with the UCA, Strut Arms, etc. We had a bit of tweaking to do on the LCA's, and that was simply to be able to obtain proper ride height for a more aggressive set-up.

If you are serious, just give QA1 a call and make sure your questions are answered.

I am running the complete set-up now (with in house mods to the LCA's) and it was a massive improvement in feel. We were just waiting for the factory LCA's to get here and we are also testing an 1 3/8" bar.

Any updates? This is a very interesting set up. Can I order that sway bar now? Does your steering feel more precise ? I would like to see a mounting flange similar to the XV piece with more surface area contact to the front sub . A couple more bolting points and a flat bar along the bottom of the front sub would really stiffen up the front end of the car up.

As nice as that mock up was and informative, it would helped from a marketing standpoint IMo if they would have added an installed pair of cut off stub TB's to the mix. I was more impressed by the set-up then I would have expected.

I respected the posted "rule" of no cameras, and the reason for that escapes me. Am I naive?

Do you mean at PRI? I had a press pass that allowed me to photo and document items. I understand them not wanting exhibitors taking pictures of competitors products.

Looks nice on display but it would be interesting to see a motor and steering box there.

No wish to hijack this thread, but if you're interested you can see a few photos of a QA1 front suspension installation in a running/driving b body done at QA1's shop. It's in the members project section. Titled 69 Coronet QA1 front suspension fit up.

Here is few shots of the front end with the 1 3/8" bar installed along with some additional brake cooling.

We also built an engine Tie Down to work with the QA1 K-Member. All needed for the upcoming season. March 7-9 Laguna Seca- Ultimate Street Car Association Event.

Looks good! When do you get some test and tune or are you just going to wing it at Laguna?

I wonder if they would be interested in making one with the later mounts, I really hate the biscuit mounts.

Is the 1 3/8 sway bar for sale yet? Just looking on QA1's web site and maybe I missed it?
