ok sooooo im trying to decide how to blow my tax money. the car needs some work. no motor parts as im going to start building a 347 in the near future with the other motor i have. so roughly 900 to spend. i owe my brother for my 3.73's so i ran subframes buy him and he was stoked. so im looking at mostly chassis stuff. i am curious what us 5.0 guys might get out of an msd 6al2? now back to the chassis. so im looking between MM And UPR. my buddy with an 04 gt and his brother in law with a 99 cobra swear by upr. I have always been impressed with MM. so its either or really. but what ive looked at so far is 2 sets of full length subframes (one for my brother) then possibly the upr full rear control arm kit they are selling for 200 currently or possibly the sve kit that may or may not be on sale next week when i get the money. then a MM 4 point k member brace i need new sway bar links and new front control arm bushings so possibly urethane FCA bushings? tentative list atm. let me know what you think.

theyre both money. MM costs more but has the best quality. UPR also makes good products. as i have both. i will say MM caster plates and welded in subframes are a foundation to good suspension. Read around about UPR or MM k-members. i have no seen either instance of failure. Nor QA1 k-members. if you replace bushings and ball joints might as well get the whole control arm. easier in my opinion.

yeah but no point in going back to a stamped arm. i just remembered i have a bad motor mount and its twin doesnt look so hot. the tranny mount has gotten super soft too. so im thinking i should address that. urethane mounts all around sway bar links and control arm bushings. full length subs maybe c&c plates hmmmmmmm decisions decisions.
