UPR Front Suspension complete!..

[Notchhappy]

Hello forum, this is my first post, might as well make it a good size one. I ordered the Full chromoly K-Member/coilover/control arm kit for the front and rear from UPR. I finished the front this weekend, and will be finishing the rear this upcoming weekend. If you have any questions or comments feel free to ask or post.

Looking good man. Real nice. Welcome to the forums.

Thanks, I'm a rookie at major projects, have owned a few different mustangs though. Btw here is a pic of how it sits now.

That looks pretty nice, how long would you say it took to complete the swap from stock?

Depending on the amount of help you have and amount of time you can fully devote to working on just your Fox. I did a lot of the work myself, and had a total of about 5 hours of help from a couple good friends of mine. All in all it really is plug and play, I used very little parts that I had removed that were stock. The power steering mounted in just as smooth as it came off the stock K-Member. I also put in a set of caster camber plates. All UPR. I had read a lot about how much people were upset about UPR's products on stangnet. I do know that if ANY of my parts fail, there is a no questions asked lifetime warranty. I didn't modify anything while installing and am not a pro by any means. Very pleased so far. I'll also have pics of the caster camber plates, rear upper and lower pro street control arms up by the end of the weekend.

To answer your question about the time I'd say a solid 12 hours non stop you'd be finished. I know it can be done quicker for sure. I just took my time, and it was the first I had ever done.

Take your time, and I really didnt run into many problems. I am having a problem with tire fitment though. What spring rate did you order? I picked up the 14/150 and cannot fit a 245/45/17 in the front. I'm running 17x8 with 17x9 cobra r's from AFS wheels. Went down to a 225/45 but I still slighty clip the bumper. I may call up UPR and go with the 14/175 spring rate. I talked to an employee who has the same set up on his 86, with a 14/175 rate and 245 45's on the front and very little rub. He also has the fenderwells removed.

Are you going to run a sway bar (don't think I see one)? Also, would you say it moved your front tires forward at all? My qa1 moved mine forward.

 

[Notchhappy]

Negative on the sway bar. And not that I'm aware of, if any it MAY have moved it forward very very little. I think its just the way the tires were on the car though. As far as I can tell I don't believe it did.
