Looking at ordering a QA1 kmember setup along with the A arms, and coil-overs. I was wondering if im going to have any fitment problems. I have heard that some aftermarket k members shift the front wheels forward. I need the extra clearance for a turbo project.
QA1 k member question
- Thread starter xsd916
- Start date
best bet is to call whatever turbo company your going with and ask what k members they've tested with thier kit .. qa1 will shift the wheels atleast all the ones ive seen.. hope this helps
It doesn't really shift the wheels, per say. It does however push them out some.
You will gain a LOT of clearance with a tubular k-member setup, there is a ton on my car.

Im looking at the newer On 3 turbo kit for the 96-01 and they used the Qa1 setup.
What k member setup are you running? I have 9 inch wide wheels on the front is that going to cause some issues?
I have a QA1 setup, and have 9'' wheels in the front, there is no problem. What I am saying is that it makes the front wheels stick out farther than the fender by a little bit.
As long as there is no fitment issue, I'm good to go. Thanks for the help guys
and it is only a little shift (push) no one will be able to tell .. good luck with the install and post up some pics ..
I have a full QA1 tubular set up on the front of my car and I can promise it moves the wheels both forward an inch and out an inch. I also have 9in front wheels and the rub on tight turns...also On 3 Performance desighned there kit around the QA1 and front what I was told all others will have rubbing issues. To the OP if you would like some close up pictures of the front of my 00 gt(same QA1 K member) I can take some tomrw for you. Good luck either way :rockon:
I got one with a big single turbo and a big radiator, it fits
