I can’t help with any of that but I will say that I bought a Qa1 K-Member off of Summit years ago and one of the mounting holes wouldn’t even align up to finish bolting it up to my car. I got my money back no problems from Summit. I run Qa1 upper and Lower CA and strut bar and like them but that K- frame was junk. I didn’t realize how low the sway bar mounted either but they’ve been a few members mount them through the k-frame if i remember correctly.
