man..i just bought the sve control arms,and torque box reinforcements......sitting in a box in my garage...lol
Lemme know how they work out.thats what i was hoping...maybe long term may be a issue,but should be expected considering the price...i just hope they dont brake in half or somthing.... they do look decent though...
i will...going to install in a couple weeks though....if they bolt up with no issues,id say only thing to worry about would be bushings,if they hold out long term i guess,its just a summer weekend cruiser/racer so im sure they will be fine...Lemme know how they work out.

FWIW, I've been unimpressed with damn near every UPR product I've used or worked with.I honestly don't think they'll be an issue if your car is used sparingly, but if it would see regular track use then id go with something stronger. Im thinking of going that route too or the UPR arms

Maybe I'm just sore over their mounts that they sent me wrong twice and when the right ones finally came I had to cut them in half and weld them up again. That could be unfair to bring to this discussion. Some of their smaller (read dress-up type)parts are pretty chincy poorly made and their displays at NMRA races look more like yard sales... but I had a set of their control arms on my blue coupe and didn't have any issues driving with them or swapping them over.Then you're really hard to impress. UPR arms were one of the first purchases I made for this car when I started spending money on it.
Not that I was looking for them specifically,...but I was in the middle of my own thread questioning the build integrity of a non-usa arm when I just gave up, and spent whatever the hell it cost at the time for a set of non-adjustable upper and lower arms from them.
I bought mine off of their website on ebay, and at the time they had a "make an offer" which I took advantage of. Can't remember what I paid though, but they were the cheapest of the better arms IIRC.

This ^^^^ Exactly! I share the same sentiment. I have a full front UPR suspension and it is absolutely top quality! I would never hesitate to buy any UPR suspension product PERIOD.TEAMUPR TTFMF!
cant beat the price for stuff that WORKS! fastest car in the world on 275's runs UPR suspension! if you set it up right it WORKS!
we run UPR in the front of the turbo car. if there was something better for the money we would have it!
What would y'all use for a street car? What's more important to replace, upper or lower, both? Urethane vs rubber, which way to go? Has anyone had success w the cheap sve type packages?
Cursing around looking pretty, might go the 1/4 or 1/8 once or twice. I ordered the Vortech si 6-8lb so I dunno 300 or so hp to the wheels. Oh and t5 w 3.73 rear. Ha cursing, crusingWhat are your exact goals with the car? How much horsepower will you make and what transmission is in it?

I appreciate your offer, it's been taken care of for the most part.I see people say stuff like that every now and then and I just smile. Our racers have started out the 2014 season DOMINATING the competition. Outlaw 275 record, 3 Wins at NMRA Bradenton, 2 Wins at NMCA Bradenton, multiple 7-second True Street passes... this is all on the same bolt on UPR suspension that anyone can buy. If that doesn't impress you, then there's nothing we can do to impress you.
I'm totally not okay with you being sent the wrong parts, and if this is still going on, I'll take care of that myself... Just say the word.
But this looks like a yard sale to you?
