Re: next mod?????

I haven't heard anything bad in the past couple years but when UPR first came out with those arms I watched 2 sets of uppers experience failures on street cars...just fyi....But if nobody has had any problems since then they probably have fixed that problem by now

Yea I heard the smae thing Paul, I think it was UPR and X2C Motorsports that had the same manufacturer that was using cheap materials. Since then they both have found a better supplier.


Rich: you can wait on the subframe connectors as the 94 up cars have a far more rigid chassis than that of the fox bodies.

SFC's all the way.

Unless your control arms are wore out, you won't notice any difference on your car, or at least I didn't
