![]() Installed in under 3 hours the rear suspension needs only to be adjusted “neutral”-no binding or preload on any bar- with the driver in the racecar. UPR’s needle-bearing mounted anti-roll bar keeps both rear tires planted while eliminating chassis twist. Established Member Joined Messages 1,157 Location Toronto Im debaiting between these 3 tubular K members, after looking into the UPR you guys gave me a fair bit of good feedback but at the same time some of you recommended the AJE and some the TeamZ so I thought Id make a poll for it. Chromemoly lowers provide adjustability and strength. Double adjustable uppers allow quick on-car changes. It has enabled racers to achieve 1.15 60’ times on 28 x 10.5 tires or 1.23 60’ times on drag radials. UPR’s Pro Series rear suspension also sets both performance and price standards. The caster camber kits allow full alignment adjustment and are offered in both steel and billet aluminum versions. The bumpsteer kit requires no drilling as it includes custom fit studs rather than plain hex bolts. UPR’s bumpsteer kit offers maximum adjustment and is used to keep the front tires parallel to each other and perpendicular to the track at all times. UPR’s bumpsteer and caster/camber plates complement the front end kit and offer anyone the same package used by most NMRA racers. It can be installed in the driveway in less than 3 hours. This gives UPR the best header clearance available while retaining maximum strength. UPR uses chromemoly tubing rather than mild steel because it enables UPR to use a smaller diameter tube. UPR offers a complete chromemoly front K-member kit that shaves 67 pounds off the nose of a Mustang. Since UPR sends a fully-stocked trailer and staff to 22 Mustang events yearly, customers get the opportunity to see parts first hand. He is always available to answer fine tuning questions by phone or at the track. Sales manager and drag tech Jeremy Martorella is a 3-time champion and Billy Glidden protégé. A firm believer in the “keep it simple” philosophy Joe made sure all his components could be easily installed and adjusted. He made customer service his highest priority and initiated an unconditional guarantee policy. His goal was to offer the strongest, lightest and best-working parts at an affordable price. In 1998 Joe saw a need for a company that truly understood the Mustang racer’s suspension needs. Probably their greatest achievement was building the first 8 second True Street and undefeated 3 time World Ford Challenge winner 95 GT Mustang driven by Willie Figueroa. Together with their employees Jeremy Martorella and Bart Tobener they amassed more racing victories and records than any other shop. Am i right or wrong? is there a way i can get different bushings to make it compatiable with the MM? Or should i just get the PA or AJE K-member? I havent looked into UPR or QA1 because the bad reviews outweighed the good reviews, and those pieces are more aimed towards drag racing, well my build is going to be more aimed towards corners.UPR Products was started in 1989 by long time Ford drag racer Mark Mainiero and his son Joe. But that also means that the diameter of the bushings will be a problem. They will interfere with the leg on the k-member that the FCA mounting tabs are welded to."ĪJE and PA both are replacement A-arms for the stock k-member. Stock FCAs will not fit in the MM k-members due to the diameter of the stock bushings. "The MM 1979-2004 Mustang K-members are compatible with the length and spacing of the bushing assembly in the matching stock FCAs. And MM for the obvious reason, but i cant use their a-arms because they want me to convert to a freaken Coilover system! Reason why i was looking to PA or AJE is because they are the only ones that have A-Arms with spring perchs. I was looking into the MM k-member, PA, AJE. Ok I am using my car for HDPE events, canyon carving, strip, and as my DD. Which K-member do you use and what do you use your car for? What k-member is best for what? I think this thread will help others who have k-member questions. Ok I tried and look to see if i can find what i was looking for online, but i couldnt.
