Thanks for the info guys. I'm looking more at the PA Racing stuff now. I am really glad I posted this before I dropped alot of money on UPR parts though a few of my friends here in NC have been saying there stuff is good, but most likely that is based on the shop they mainly deal with is a UPR dealer.

I might just call Team Z on Monday since their site is still down.

My upr stuff is great, your always going to hear the bad stuff and not the good. With anything that is mass produced there is going to be a few bad ones that slip through

That is very true. But letting poor quality tubing go through powdercoat then in the end users hands in something as important as a control arm that raises a flag in my book. I was also at the shop my friends goto and they were intalling a UPR K member on a 97 Cobra and the front tires were staggered @ 3" and they were asking me if I could cut the passenger side mount off and re weld it since the mount wasn"t sitting flush, sorry but that is poor quality. I don"t mind spending the money on quality parts. I am very glad I was there today so now UPR is out of the question for me though I do need some door handles for my Fox they might have what I need.
