    Maximum vs UPr

    I want to change out the stock K-member for either the maimum or the UPR. I have the Maximum rear grip pack (panhard bar, Torque arm.....). The MM is very expensive 1700 with instal (500). If I went with the UPR or comparible what would anyone recommend. My concern or assumption is that these suspension kits are engineered to match and balance (center of gravity) and if I choose a different set up would it really matter. The UPR as I understand it is ~700. (need to follow up with what that really includes). Suggestions...........................

    If your trying to decide between just those two, I would say MM. The only way you can really describe UPR stuff is "knock-off". I don't believe they do any really engineering for their products, just take what others are making and try and make it their own. May still be Ok, but you still lose something there compared to the original. There are others out there, I believe the one offered from PSR is supposed to be really nice.

    Another Vote for Maximum Motorsports! It is quality stuff, haven't heard anything good about UPR. I have had MM LCA's, and Full length Subframe connectors installed.
