Default QA1 Control Arms?

Anyone have any experience with QA1 control arms? Namely the tubular GM parts? It seems they bought the Edelbrock suspension line and now sell these. We have a customer wondering about build quality, fit, country of origin, etc.



Thanks!

Going to answer my own question here -

I called QA1, learned that the street version is a stock ball joint with polyurethane bushings, and the race version is a delrin bushing with their low-friction ball joint. Both versions retain same geometry.

All the arms come with coil-over mounts installed, with an optional stock coil spring mount available for around $69 retail.

These are all made in Minnesota.

So there I have it!

just throwing this out there.....

To be considered made in USA more than 50% of the cost needs to be American. SO that could mean some components are from overseas and assembled here.....
