QA1 Six-Link Rear Suspension Conversion Installed

Whatever. I've said multiple times that the QA1 is a well engineered system, and that I appreciate the time and effort that went into it. And I do. I have QA1 parts on my cars, they make good stuff, and I will buy more of their parts. And I truly hope they continue to expand their offerings for old Mopars because I will continue to consider any new offerings they make.

But that doesn't mean I can't think that they've completely missed the boat with this 6 link system, because I do. For their price point and the limitations of the system there are better options on the market already. The prolific use of rod ends means that you will constantly be changing them if you run a decent number of street miles. The location of the links limit tire width, which is one of the biggest reasons these cars are converted to links and coilovers to begin with. The inability to run tailpipes, which is straight from QA1 themselves, means it's not a good choice for a frequently driven street car. The bolt in installation is definitely a plus, and I'm sure the adjustability of the system is very nice to have. But I don't think it's worth what the system costs.

No suspension system is perfect, they ALL have pros and cons. The QA1 system is no different. That doesn't mean it still won't be the best option for some people, I'm sure it will be and I'm sure it will sell. But that doesn't mean we can't discuss the pros and cons, because that's how you reach an informed decision. Name calling doesn't further that. I offered examples of other cars with unique suspension systems not to suggest that they were the best or better than anything else, but to show that systems like torsion bars and even transverse leaf springs CAN be used successfully at a high level. All suspension systems have pros and cons, period. This one is no different. I would love to see reviews of how the 6 link actually performs on the street and track, and I sincerely hope that it does well (I'm sure it will).
