Brian Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 For Drag Racing the UPR setup is a nice piece. Wouldn't say the best but it is a good bang for your buck setup. Not too harsh on the street/daily driving. But as someone said before I wouldn't put it on a car that goes through the turns.Car looks good Danny. Once yall get the rear taken care of it'll be stanced real nice. Looking forward to updates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

330CubeGt Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 Yea, there nice for adj. Suspention for corners and getting the car low but the upr, mmr, billit depot etc etc etc all sell low end budget kits and the quality was not there on my MMRkit either. So not sure if brian is talking about quality or just the fact that a 14" springs are to tall for an ideal corner carving height, as well as the 175# spring weight Heads up and ass kickin!

Brian Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 It's not bad if you are using it for drag racing but I wouldn't put it on my car for going into the turns. MM is where it's at for that. It all depends on what you want and what you're doing with your car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
330CubeGt Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 The sleeve that slides over the strut is real thin/cheesy IMO. There a great bang for your buck coil over kit and depending on what you want out of the car they work well. But they do not compare to the quality kits out there like Griggs etc where the actual strut is threaded...Heads up and ass kickin!

Musturd Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 The quality is actually just fine. So many people bash it with out owning the product . I have mm coilovers and UPR and to tell you the truth it's basically the same shit there both fake coilovers so IMO both are not the best quality. If you want a real quality coilover you buy a coilover setup that is built right into the shock or strut. Even with 175 springs in the front with my 10 way shocks and Struts I can make my shit box out handle alot of the cars on the site. Team z is up there in drag racing big time there stuffs cheap so what's ur guys opinion on that ? If UPR was complete garbage like people say people wouldn't be going mid8's at over 160mph in a stock style mustang suspension car. The stuff clearly performs great. I own alot of mm stuff and I personally only care for there suspension stuff the rest is junk . Quadrants are crap cables are good.basically I like there tubular k member coilovers and lower control arms panhard bar and torque arm. I actually don't even like there ugly caster camber plates .

Musturd Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 Like frank said. Griggs is better then MM that is a real coilover even mm is cheap shit alternative to the real deal if you guys wanna talk real road racing or track cars. Only budget builders run fake coilovers.

justinschmidt1 Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 (edited) Ive got the UPR coil overs with 12 inch 200-250 lb springs, forget exactly but with tokico blue struts it rides pretty soft actually, probably better than stock.As far as quality, well you might get SLIGHTLY better quality if you buy MM but I wouldnt be worried about turning hard with the UPR coil overs at all.The kits look basically the same other than the MM sleeve has a cutout and the perch is different.Either way, the UPR stuff works just fine, does the same damn job as any other coil overs...the spring and shock will determine how the car handles.

I actually don't even like there ugly caster camber plates .UPR is completely manufactured Overseas btw UPR pays like $100 for each k member for a sweat shop to make them. Not sure If I want the same kid who makes legos to be burning together tubes and plates that is a key component of my vehicles suspension just food for thought. To the original thread starter I'm glad you stuck with the 14-175 combo that is your ideal street number plenty of ground clearance and enough spring pressure to keep your ride comfy but perform at the same time. Next upgrade for you should be the Tubular A-arms to save yourself some weight maybe even do a tubular k-member swap?? Try a coil over set up in the rear you will be extremely pleased with the results. Not sure what your back suspension set up is maybe throw out your specs and I can point you in the right direction for as far as traction goes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
