I have been all over the internet trying to find a good deal on a UPR firewall adjuster and quadrant and my research has concluded that UPR makes two firewall adjusters. One that uses bolts to secure it to the firewall and another one that does not.

WHICH ONE DO YOU GUYS RECOMMEND I GET? I am putting a stock clutch back in it and i just have an xpipe, as far as mods go.

This is the best set up set up right here. Don't waste your $ on set ups with lesser quality adjustable cables either

firewall adjusters are garbage. just use the quadrant and adjust the cable at the transmission.

Jeremy or Sacstangdriver did this when he installed mine on my 96 No complaints at all i had the BBK kit minus the firewall adjuster. lots of bad reviews at the time for the bbk cable but had no issues with it ever when SacstangDriver installed was daily driven in traffic for a year

i have the mm non adjustable cable and out on the 99 cobra and its fucking awesome. The adjustable ones i purchased were garbage and would lose adjustment or stretch over time.

I also use the SVE firewall adjuster as i had it left over from my foxbody when it got stolen.
