I bought the eurethane UPR upper and lower tubulars for $249+ shipping and will tell you right now it is the single best suspension mod (other that full length subframs) that I have. It has leveled the car out GREATLY in corners and limited wheel-hop as well as possible with the rock hard crappy tires I have. I love them, never tried MM, but I am VERY pleased with what I have.

If I go with UPR would it be okay to use urethane bushing in the upper and then sphearical in the lowers or shouls just stick to one or the Other. The reason Im asking this is because the all urethane kit is $220 while the urethance upper and shpearical lowers are $280. which would be better for my application (in 1st post).

I went with the urethane kit for the uppers and lowers

and for the Diff bushing (which causes flex for your launch) i installed the spherical bushing. it's pretty much all you need unless you want to not drive your car on the street. the ones with the spherical ends are too rough for the street.

here look these are my uppers

Well we dont really race it but we drive it a lot out in the country. Guess you could put it in the road race type category. Mianly we just drive it around town, goes to cruz-ins adn drive it in the country.

Is that bushing in the rearend a bolt in bushing? Do you know if there is any benfit over that one compared to a stock one. Ill probably have to replace the bushing but $104 is a lot for a pair of bushings (ouch).

it took two seconds to remove the old one with an air hammer and install on the new one was easy. i tried without the air hammer and you can't do it trust me.

the entire kit enourmously improves your 60ft.
