Ive got something to add on this subject, being I built the baddest 302 based Fox whatever lived second only to Chris Tutens car. (I got jokes) Anywho I find myself in the market for a front tubular cross member for my current project and have done a bunch of research on the subject. First let me say my red car was 100% UPR suspension. Pro-Series rear suspension with Lakewood 50/50's and 4 cyl springs with one coil cut off. I had their front suspension with 1" shorter than stock arms and Lakewood 90/10's up front. Car went a best of 1.31 60 ft on drag radials and went 1.34-1.35 every other time. Not the fastest but not too shabby IMHO.
Now the bad. The UPR front K-member was built incorrectly and I literally had to cut the drivers side motor mount plate off with a plasma. Then set the engine back in the car, line up the mount and tack it, pull the motor and fully weld the mount and then set the motor back in. That's unacceptable IMO when you pay 700 bucks for a product.
As I saw on another forum "UPR will shit in a box and call it a quality product". Lmao. That being said I may end up buying the UPR K-member again cause they are about the cheapest full Chromoly K-member on the market. If it aint 100% perfect they are gonna get it back untill they get it right.
I would buy their rear pro-series kit again in a lil minute.
