I've got the VanSteel system with QA1s on all 4 corners on my '70 and I love it.

VanSteel offers a shortened rear sway bar to go with their coilover system since it uses off set T/As. That is what I used with mine. I didn't try to test fit the stock one, should have just to see what mods would have to have been done.
