maybe i'm stupid, but WTF does that mean????

sore peter....you just can't beat it

They are priced really cheap...I used a set priced cheap I bought from Detroit Speed. They are Pro-Forms. I think these are the same arms they sell. Mine were 179.99 for 4. They helped with my wheel hop considerably. They are poly bushings with grease fittings. The powder coating is high quality. I pounded mine with a hammer to get them so seat, and they didn't even chip! I am happy with them. I feel bad for people who spend 300-400 for LCA's and UCA's.

I just bought and installed the UPR street kit

very nice product and installed very well. Haven't driven the car yet but will update after a few launches!

i have a set of the round ones from summit racing on my vert, no complaints.

I used the Prko3i upper and lowers on my lx and they were probablly middle of the road but I only really wanted them for street use and they filled my needs. Noticed a difference in thepower reaching the pavement as the rear felt stiffer on acceleration if that makes any sense.

Hopefully I can tell you how they are in a short while. The stock arms are so bad under this 92 hatch that each time I take off the pops and groans are loud enough to scare me. The uppers are completely wasted, I can reach up and move them around!
I figured the B. oval stuff looked like a good alternative for this stang just to help keep it going down the road. It won't ever be worth an expensive build, it has just been beaten to death, but a good bang around street car keeps it fun. I'll post my results once I get them in.
BTW, I did get my Steeda Triax from them much cheaper than anywhere else. Great service, very fast shipping. Got it off Ebay and they didn't try to gouge on shipping like so many others do...something like $5 to ship. Seem pretty on the up and up as far as I can tell.

I've got Hotchkis. They work great.

wow....i was gonna buy their control arms too because i'm poor, but after reading that post, there's no way in HELL i'm dealing with BOI. word of mouth DOES have a large impact in the stang community and i hope BOI realizes that before it's too late. i think i will go with some UPR control arms. Punisher seems to like them, does anyone else have an opinion about the UPR arms?

wow, unbelievable. Glad to learn about them before it became too late!

I'm very happy with my UPRs

Only been on a few short runs with them but they are way better than stock. Better traction and no noise so far. I would buy them again.

The round arms Summit sells work pretty well for the money also, I had a set on the supercharged car and it has 2 seasons of 5,000rpm slick dumps and street miles on em.

BOI sounds a lot like the dudes down here in Phoenix at AMP. I've dealt with 'em twice and on both occasions, they were rude as hell. They act like they're doing you some kind of noble favor just by standing there behind the counter. I'd sooner pay extra for shipping and order from a reputable site like Summit or Jeg's than put up with some dude's snotty attitude AND have to pay a premium for their parts just for the "honor" of being able to walk in and buy parts from them in person.
