I dunno....UPR just seems like a flea market brand to me. I have read some pretty crappy things about their weld quality and fitment as well as them having sub par customer service although it may not be the norm. It is also a bit of a turn off when you see a drag car with a huge UPR sponsor sticker on the hood and the only UPR parts on the car are a set of billet pedals and caster camber plates.

I got a UPR K member great fit and good quality..nothing wrong with them i would recommend upr all day
I have the Granetelli unit, haven't installed yet. I did install it on my old car that had no motor. Fit just fine. It moves the wheels forward and you can move the engine back a little. there are also two mounting points for the control arms.
That was true a long time ago, but much has improved now from what I have heard. I remember when UPR just made this billitt dress up stuff, and their parts were just knockoff parts, that had the rep too. Someone with a CNC machine and a stock of aluminum, but it seems they have really, really, picked things up from then. Did you know that Glock got started out making curtain rods? You've got to start somewhere. I'd give them a try, and I use to really down them because I knew of people who bought their junk and it was some junk. I've seen them now and it seems someone got in there that knew what they are doing. No personal experience though, yet.

The Maxim Motorsport is probably the toughest of the bunch, but for the price, the UPR piece seems tough to beat.
Let me rephrase. There is no doubt in my mind that there are people out there going very fast on UPR suspension components (Rick being one of them). However, with the few horror stories I did come across, I didnt want to leave anything to chance, especially when my safety is concerned. I have read plenty of great things about UPR, just decided to go a different route.
Come to think of it, most of the bad stuff was a couple years old. I'm glad they have improved especially since their prices are so low. And yes, I do know that Glock got its start that way.
