ok i misunderstood what u meant by alignments. but its not like this car will have tons of power and be launching hard all the time and pulling tires off the ground and busting parts. itll prolly only make it to the track 2 or 3 times and will be driven almost daily so idk how itll hold up but i think it should be fine. the car will be babied 95% of the time.

It works like what?
I know several people who have UPR K-Memebers who drive their mustangs on the road. They haven't had any problems. Like I said, I have read about others breaking, but have not personally seen a UPR K-Member break.

I know of two cars right now that see daily abuse with damn near 100% UPR suspension. Nothing wrong with there stuff. chances are anyone who wants to talk bad about an underdog company hasnt personally delt with there stuff (stop lying) and was smooth talked by some salesman into buying some expensive **** and is jealous OR bought all the high $ because he wants everyone on the internet to see how much money they can waste.

I dont feel bad for spending money, i have personally handled and installed 2 upr k members and to me they are ****. Dont like it, fine. I'll never put one on my cars, but i dont prefer to drag race either.

Thanks guys. i may put some on the car later just for more stability and stuff but i wont for a few years. i will prolly only launch the car once or twice the whole time i own it so im not worried too much about the chassis twisting. they are on my to do list though!

fml= f*** my life.

i really think you should reconsider the importance of installing sub frame connectors early. they'll help keep your car's body more rigid and keep it more intact, meaning it will last a lot longer. it doesn't take much power to twist up these chassis'. plus you can pick up a set of full length connectors for pretty cheap.

thanks. but we are not the same person. he is 13 and i just turned 15 last week. but i was also amazed that we were both the same height! and the only thing i have ever bought from summit was my seats. my mom doesnt work for summit, she works for Wake Forest University as an accountant. and he said in 1 of his posts in his thread that he was 5'11.. gah i wish i could get a good deal on summit stuff though!!!

Ditto. I have UPR upper/lower control arms, full lenght subframes, a arms, and k member on my lx. Everything works fine with no issues.

Awesome build thread. I can't believe how young you are. Keep the attitude you have going and I think you will do very well in life.

Good going man...glad to see some other young people on here...I got my first mustang 5 years ago when I was your age and it has came a long way...

I'm 19 now and since have built myself a 306 and converted most of my interior to black...you'll end up doing more and more to the car after you get it road worthy...trust me, it never ends! I find something new to do everytime I turn around...

One question...why do you need a driveshaft loop?
