Both of those things can be done with the A-arms. Mark has different length A-arms available, and they use rod ends instead of bushings. Depending on where you place the spacers, you can lengthen the wheelbase, shorten it, or set your front to stagger.

We put a Qa1 in a buddys car awhile back. It bolted in just fine. The A-arm bolt holes were drilled right next to the mounting plate and we had to grind a huge flat spot in the head of the bolt. The welds were terrible. Lots of filler. It will work, but the quality doesnt even compare to one of Marks.

Well, sounds like Racecraft is getting a phone call. Just looking at the photos of the cars they've built tells me their not in the habit of doing things half-fast. I like their wings too, but outta my price range, going with an Ed Quay for that. Not that I need it, I just think they look kewl.

Thanks for the input guys, exactly what I needed to make up my mind. Andy, mind if I drop your name when I call Racecraft?

Yeah, thats fine. Be prepared to leave a message, I know they have been swamped lately. Also, dont be surprised if it takes a week or two. They have been selling faster than he can make them. Did you follow the 2005 Mustang link to Paxtons website?
