I'm in the process of buying all new rear suspension. I was wondering if anybody here has any experience with UPR's Upper and Lower non-adjustable chrome moly control arms. If so, how did they feel and are there any cons about them.
Here is the link for the parts

Thanks

i have them on my 88 hatch. Jeremy, who works there and also races, explained that their non adjustable upper control arms are made the same length as what they tell you to set their adjustable control arms to. i have had them on their for a few years and never had a problem and i beat the crap outta my car. probably have over 60 passes down the drag strip, and around 8000 street miles on them. they have great customer service and stand behind their products.

Well I'm going to be installing some torque box reinforments. So while the control arms are out, might as well upgrade lol.

I like the baseline suspension or team z uppers they are adjustable and connect to housing. With the lowers if you wannt to adjust ride height go with a weight jacket. P

I actually just intalled UPR upper control arms on my 97 gt, and Hotchkis lowers...I can tell you for sure that the construction between those and the stock ones are night and day...I also added bilstein shocks...Im almost done with the rear of the car then i'll move to the front and finish whats left...I'd go with the UPR's. they have great products...

Thanks for your help fellas. I actually have been looking into all different brands and have been trying to find all of the best reviews for each product. Your guy's posts have helped me narrow it down. Never heard of Team Z before.. but after looking into them a bit, seems like many people like their products. I will keep everybody updated on what I go with. If anybody else has any UCA/LCA opinions, please chime in.. Thanks ![[patriot]](graemlins/patriot.gif)
