He has a street setup 347 and takes it to the track about 3-4 times a month to "play". He has had the UPR front coil over kit now and loves it, also said it gives the car a better handling feel than the Granatelli. i also have a fox and am planning to buy the UPR set up at FFW coming up in a couple of weeks.
Thanks... That totally confirms everything the tech told me from Maximum Motorsports. I won't waste my time or money on the Granatelli K member.

The UPR I was told is better for going straight because of the lack of bracing. I was also told the chromoly version needs to be checked every now and again for stress cracks and such due to the degradation of the metal over time. Chromoly over time apparently will lose it's strength and begin to flex, fatigue, and crack or break.
