I would stay away from those...Cheap price = cheap quality, plus the bushings are poly all the way around which will cause severe suspension bind.

I saw a post on here a couple of months back about a Mach 1 that ran those & one of the uppers snapped & messed up the guys car pretty bad.

U get what u pay 4.... I suggest picking up some Maximum Motorsports LCA's & keeping the stock uppers...

Aftermarket uppers cause binding....so do cheap UPR bushings.

When it comes to suspension on a stang is pretty much Maximum Motorsports or Nothing. MM does extensive reasearch on the mustangs suspention geomentry and has come to the conclusion that stock upper are the best for a 4 link setup.

I just installed MM LCA and am amazed with the quality (as i am with all the MM stuff i buy)

just compare my arms to the UPRs....

another vote for MM LCA's. You get what you pay for and MM is some high quality stuff

I'm getting a set this weekend along with an SCT excal2 for 450.00. I'll let you know how they feel once installed.

i was looking at the MM lca's...and i really liked them.......and its probably what il go with! I was just wondering what the UPR's are like.

I just dont want to buy the wrong thing, I am going to do my suspension over this winter and I want to do it right the first time lol
