UPR makes a great product, in all fairness most of the mfg's that are making suspension components are making a good product. They are all offering a pretty good option base so far as urethane and delrin bushings as well as the spherical bushings for the cars pointing in the track direction. I have used UPR with great results. Another good one is Wolfe Products, they have a fleet of record holding Fox and New Gen cars in the portfolio.
