UPR products?

[JD2001GT]

I recently purchases UPR UCAs and LCAs. I have not installed them yet and was wondering if anyone has had any experience with them. I was going to get maximum motorsports but ended up getting these instead. Anyone have any experience or opinion about this would be great. Thanks in advance.

Why buy something and THEN ask about it?

 

[JD2001GT]

Well I had asked a few people on another board and I didnt get a response. A friend of mine who races suggested them so I got them, also i got a hell of a deal on them. I was only looking for some feedback.

I've heard that UPR isn't very good, but I've never bought anything from them so I don't know by experience.

I have the UPR shifter and EXACTLY the same as the Steeda Tri-Ax. I have a lot of other UPR stuff too and I like it alot especially for the price. When MGW started doing billet stuff I was gonna swap out but now UPR makes super shiny stuff now too.

I also bought their front tubular coil over set up, but haven't been home to install it yet.

If your a drag racer the UPR control arms are a good choice.. not sure about corner carving since I don't care about cornering.. tomustang is a good person to talk too about corner carving mods.

as far as quality goes I have not had a problem with either my x pipe or control arms...

UPR has good stuff, MM is better tho

I have dealt with better companys and their shipping isn't the best either.
I would rather get the MM or Steeda control arms but, it's your car.

UPR and Steeda are EXACTLY the same quality, the only difference is Steeda stamps thier name on everything and charges you 10-50 bucks more per part.

I won't argue that MM is the best though.

I would say that UPR is one of, if not the best cheap parts manufacturer/supplier. They do have customer service issues, but once you get ahold of them I have never been dissapointed. Its just always a pain to contact them.

Really dont plan on going through the twisties any time soon. I mainly plan on drag racing the car I just hope that they do handle alright on the street. SVTtech do you have any problem with your control arms binding or anything like that on the street?

they will handle well enough on the street, just don't expect some hardcore traction trying to go around a turn

This is in Tech, not talk. Got something useful to add? :Zip2:

I did too... I will make sure I check with you the next time I buy something.. in fact since you know so much I will forward all the EEC and electronics questions on here to you..


For me The UPR's made sense... the difference in price is not worth it on my car that DOES NOT CORNER CARVE.. I don't even have sway bars on it

No I have not had any binding problems.. Just remember to install everthing loose and then with the car sitting at normal ride height tighen the bolts..

I do this by marking the shocks and then when I am done I jack the rear end housing up untill my index marks are right then I tighten all the bolts down to tourqe spec.

upr is fine, bought from before. its like buying sony products without the sony name..(some people just like to brag)

 

[JD2001GT]

Thanks alot for everyones comments. I dont plan on carving any corners too hard myself either. I think im going to be happy when I get them in the car this week

If you gonna do a lot of craving I'd go with nothing but the best (MM), but if not I don't blame you one bit for saving a buck or 2 (woulda done the same). Everything I've ever gotten from UPR had been pretty decent.
