You could just replace the bushings now, then buy all 3 pieces as a kit, I would think that would be a cheaper route?

On a side note, I run a poly busing in my front Ford arms.

Re: Tubular A-arms w/ Stock Springs?

D&D is waaaaay better than the QA1 front susp IMO. I had QA1 for a month and I couldnt wait to put my D&D back on. The only exception is the QA1 struts b/c the strut body is threaded for C/Os and you dont need a sleeve.

Stay away from D&D K members. On an SN95 and up for some reason they nail it, but in the fox cars they could not get their shit together, the pads of the motor mounts are not position right(they still have not corrected it) and if you decide to go with long tubes they have clearance issues, now I said this is in the fox bodies. If you go with the QA1, the only thing is, it will put the tire towards the front, meaning your tires are going to scrub when you turn at the front of the fender, and you will need caster camber plates to get a good aligment. You want a good k member and a arms that are on the money? Go here
