I didnt mean that I didnt want something light, I just dont want something thats built for racing purposes in mind, and not the stresses of street driving. UPR is a racing oriented company, specifically drag racing.

And I would take a QA1 over UPR any day of the week. Believe me. But I'd just like to stick to a little bit more robust design. And if you think I'm concerned with weight...Convertible, IRS, and heavy 18x10.5 wheels come to mind to suggest otherwise. lol Car probably weighs around 3800lbs if not more. Feels a lot lighter in the turns though for sure. But its a heavy car and theres no helping that.

UPR k member is a relabeled QA1 peice. As far is quality goes all there is to judge by is the welds and the material, and mild steel and cromoloy is the same material wether its MM or UPR, as long as the welding is good there isn't anything about it that can be "poor quality". Just my two cents.
