Default Which front suspension/K member and rear suspension

Over the next few weeks I'm going to be ordering parts for my 93 Mustang. I'm wondering which to go with for the front suspension,
Front choices
UPR which seems to be the most bang for the buck

Racecraft Inc
http://www.racecraft.com/index.php?m...products_id=88

QA1

Rear choices
UPR
http://www.uprproducts.com/mustang-c...nsion-kit.html

Wolfe Racecraft
http://www.wolferacecraft.com/detail.aspx?ID=324

Racecraft Inc.
http://www.racecraft.com/index.php?m...ex&cPath=54_67
No package on there site but they have the rear sway bar and upper/lower arms listed on there site.

Also considering Team Z but there site is down for maintenance.

I'm open to suggestions just want to build the car right from the start. Plus I'm trying to stay on a budget since I have just a roller and need to build a complete car including interior.

Are there any vendors on the site who would offer better prices to site members.

Your best bet is to try UPR products. Ive dealt with a couple companies and UPR is the most affordable suspension product on the market. The best part is there is hundreds of racers using thier products as well. 100% of my suspension is UPR made and it fits great and looks good too.

I would advise you to stay away from PA Racing....When their $360 1" shorter A-arms didnt fit, they wanted to charge me a 20% restocking fee or roughly $60 more to send them back. One call to Jeremy @ UPR to find out they make them was all it took for me to throw those PA racing ones in a dusty corner.

When you manufacture as many parts as UPR does, you are going to have quality control issues, and UPR 9/10 takes care of thier customers. Usually all those threads you see bashing UPR, end up with someone from UPR (usually Jeremy) taking care of the issue.

Im not taking anything away from the guys at Racecraft or Team Z, both of those as well make quality race parts, just cost a little more than UPR.

I forgot about Maximum Motorsports.

Alot of people I've been talking to local to me are saying to go with UPR, but that might be based only on price.

As for the post of checking the Corral, I registered there and for almost a month now I cannot post anything, I've sent emails to them about it with no results.

A guy I know from another forum made a really nice aluminum vacuum block to replace the one on the fox firewall. He was selling them on that sire. Sadly, he didn't patent it and the next thing he knew he saw UPR selling them, Not the first time I have heard them doing this. I wouldn't buy anything from them.
