Default UPR Products

Has anyone ordered anything from them? I don't know extensive detail about the company, but they seem to be fairly well known. Can anyone comment on the quality of their products etc.

It really depends on what you're buying.. I've heard mixxed reviews about them on different things.

I don't know that I would order from them for performance parts, but dress-up stuff, sure.

I have also heard mixed reviews about their suspension components other than Springs (Their springs are made by Eibach).

They used to have quality problems, but I don't think its a problem anymore. I would have no problem buying their mid pipes or suspension parts. I also know people who hate them with a passion. Then there are guys who have hit the wall at the drag strip and the UPR K-members were still together and just fine.

But from what I have seen it was a problem in the past and I think its safe now. I am looking into their upper control arms for my car once I can afford them.

I wouldn't buy any performance part from them that had any signifigance. Possibly exhaust or something but never suspension, not for open track racing. There dress up items, sure. But I've heard complaints about even those being knock-offs of other's parts and that thier manufacturing has been movies overseas, but that doesn't mean that the look-good parts don't look good.
