Team Z Motorsports : Lo Pro Race Cars, - Ford Parts, etc

how do these prices look?

F8L GT · June 21st, 2010, 01:15 AM

about the same as the prices from their website

Scott2001GT · June 21st, 2010, 01:16 AM

oh ok I was jw how they compared thanks

tbirdscwd · June 21st, 2010, 03:05 AM

Yeah, the same as they have them
listed. Normally would have been about 625, but I got a deal

Well, if they were poly on the other end, this doesn't suprise me at all

You can see how the end is opened up in pic #2 and is an example of design limitations of the Mustang 4-link. My guess is the OEM stockers would have held up better than those. Seems to me a few pepes were talkin' about the funky nature of LCA's.... who was that again

I remeber that thread. Didn't someone hijack it?

tbird - No wonder you had wheel hop.
waiting to hear how the new parts feel on launch.

tbirdscwd · June 22nd, 2010, 03:33 PM

I should see how the car launches tomorrow with the new suspension. I'll be going to the track around 5

Just to clarify, We have Never produced square control arms...

Definitely not UPR CA's!

Danielle@UPR · June 22nd, 2010, 03:53 PM

ps...those CA's look like they were mig welded steel...since UPR started building suspension, we have always used chromoly and tig welding.

Just wanted to make things clear! lol
