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.

If the toe is way out of Wack it'll do that

would deffenitly not recomend QA1 or Bourgeon As far as customer support and standing behind their product Both acted like i was trying to get a refund even after I told both was not looking for refund was just looking for trouble shooting help they just wanted to play hot potato with my problem. Also QA1 K member had minor fitment issues No way i would recommend

Well what bothered me with QA1 was how arrogant they were when I called them about about the fitment issues. Its like they held zero accountability with the problems. Asking me has my car ever been wrecked and all kinds of stupid crap. Now with Borgeson I bought a box for my car in 17. I installed it but only got to put Im guessing 200 miles on it. I then got called on a almost 8 year job away from home and got to drive the car very little. I then started driving the car some and it started leaking out the bottom. I called borgeson and talked to them and yeah I know its out of warranty now but they basically admitted to me that they had some problems out of several of their boxes that year with a casting flaw and mine fell in that range of boxes and it was resealed by a borgeson dealer for a just incase and it still leaked but guess what? No offerers to replace it or even give me a discount or anything from borgeson but thats my fault I guess but I will say Peter Bergman has went over and beyond to help me out, so my props to him.
