My kit is vintage 1996. The crosmember has shock tower extensions welded in. They look like hat sections and are raised vertically about 2.5 inches. Unless QA1 has shorter springs, I could not bolt up the shock because the preload was too high even with the spanner nut and lock lock down as far as possible.Maybe there are different length uncompressed springs that I am not aware of. If you put the QA1 shock fully extended next to the recommended CR Monroe shock, the QA1 was 2.00 inches shorter from the bottom attachment to the shock rod where the washer sits for the rubber bushing.
