Default UPR rear control arms. Any good?

Another forum I'm on says UPR rear control arms are crap. What is so bad about them, I was considering getting a set, butI want to hear what people have to say about them first.

they're better than stock that's for sure. i put the cheapest ones i could find and they are WAY better than the stock arms.

not 100% sure on that specific part from them, but upr makes a good product in general. and if im not mistaken those should be chromoly which is pretty damn strong

i have a set of them and love them compared to stock. I mean id love to have maximum motorsports, but I cant afford that on a DD stang. maybe for a drag car, but I have no doubt the UPR will handle plenty. as for the msd comment, i have always used msd, and have only ever known any regular problems with their nitrous timing retarders, other than that i stand by em. my $.02

Is there a big difference between the upr's and maximum motorsport control arms? Physically they look the same, just a different bushing I guess.
