lol. Every since I saw the cracked welds on one of their K members and claimed it to be a crack i the powder coating but turned out to be a stress fracture in the metal Ive since steered clear of them. It was either an A arm or K member cant remember which but regardless...

UPR used to be Unlimited Performance, and before that it was SuperStang or something like that. It was after they got bought out they went downhill and started specializing in Chrome bezel pieces.

9 times out of 10 when a company goes through name changes or is bought out its not a good thing. Not everyone is familiar with Champion hoods, but the are the same company that used to be Cincinnati Composits that was well known for its very crappy sub par POS hoods. I see them every year with the same white van w/ hoods spread out in front of it at the UPR/Tasca day events at Epping N.H. And every year I see someone walking away w/ a hood. Guess there is a sucker born every minute

Yeah, I remember Cincinatti Composites. I can't believe anyone buys their hoods. How hard can it be to make a hood properly if that's all you do.

For UPR it was an A Arm with a bad seam IIRC... Which actually turned out to be a surface imperfection.

UPR A-arm = GARBAGE!!! - Ford Mustang Forums : Corral.net Mustang Forum

However they had had a number of cased filed against them where they claimed "off road use only"

Lawsuit alleges defective car part played part in fatal accident - macombdaily.com


But simply how they treated Dave from team Z is enough to make me never buy a UPR product... Their parts will never see any mustang i touch or work on.

Same here Adam. I wont buy suspension parts from a company that also deals in chrome blingly interior crap. Does Team Z, Maximum Motorsports, BMR, Grigs, Agent 47, exc exc also deal in cheesy interior crap??? nope, b.c all they do is suspension b/c that is what they are good it

Yea this is the first time I have heard that the bling bling accessories came 2nd. Perhaps terrible marketing?

Anywho, for a part as important as suspension...I'll take the specialist over the "jack of all trades" any day of the week!
