Well, if you wanna spend some money, buy maximum Motorsports. I would get double adjustable uppers though so you can dial in your pinion angle.

Dime, I hear ya but my lowers are working out just fine. Why spend it if you don't have to.

I second pissing on UPR. Ive read TOO MUCH BAD on them. And they dont even back their crappy product with good customer service. Team-Z appears to make good affordable stuff.



On a side note, I like my maximum motorsport Lowers . I went with ford racing factory replacement uppers, with nice bushings.


FYI - Maximum motorsports suggests just factory replacement ford racing upper control arms. Thats what they sold me. Theyre cheap too.

it's not so much a different angle but keeping it in line with the driveshaft because under a load the housing rotates thus creating improper angle of the u-joints during rotation

they do for 1994+ yr mustangs, they say on there site that foxbodie car's should have there upper's upgraded.

i was originally going with maximum motorsport's, but then primetime pointed me to UPR. I might still try them out, idk.

At some point someone will be dissatisfied w/ some manufacturer. Period. It's all in what you want. In the link Grabbem posted, I saw someone knocking a PA Racing unit too. I have one, really happy w/ it.
