There are reasons why Ford didn't make the stock K-member lighter it weighs what it does because it provides optimum strength and durability. Resists the reaction to the engine's torque output.When the K-member flexes it affects ride quality, handling, braking, and long-term durability. Provides the load path into the chassis for forces from the front suspension, and it should do so without flexing.Keep in mind that the K-member is a mission-critical part that: The potential weight reduction of 57 lb is still a far cry short of the often claimed 75-100 lb reduction. Sure, there are companies that make lighter-weight K-members, dropping as much as an additional 18 lb. While the weights of the individual parts do vary slightly, the differences are quite small, with the overall weight reduction being just a very few pounds shy of this Fox example. What about the weights for an SN95 Mustang?

Installed in under 3 hours the rear suspension needs only to be adjusted “neutral”-no binding or preload on any bar- with the driver in the racecar.This particular combination of MM parts for a Fox chassis Mustang provides a weight reduction of 38.8 lb. UPR’s needle-bearing mounted anti-roll bar keeps both rear tires planted while eliminating chassis twist. Chromemoly lowers provide adjustability and strength.

The caster camber kits allow full alignment adjustment and are offered in both steel and billet aluminum versions. The bumpsteer kit requires no drilling as it includes custom fit studs rather than plain hex bolts. UPR’s bumpsteer kit offers maximum adjustment and is used to keep the front tires parallel to each other and perpendicular to the track at all times. UPR’s bumpsteer and caster/camber plates complement the front end kit and offer anyone the same package used by most NMRA racers. It can be installed in the driveway in less than 3 hours. This gives UPR the best header clearance available while retaining maximum strength. UPR uses chromemoly tubing rather than mild steel because it enables UPR to use a smaller diameter tube. UPR offers a complete chromemoly front K-member kit that shaves 67 pounds off the nose of a Mustang. Since UPR sends a fully-stocked trailer and staff to 22 Mustang events yearly, customers get the opportunity to see parts first hand. He is always available to answer fine tuning questions by phone or at the track. Sales manager and drag tech Jeremy Martorella is a 3-time champion and Billy Glidden protégé.
A firm believer in the “keep it simple” philosophy Joe made sure all his components could be easily installed and adjusted. He made customer service his highest priority and initiated an unconditional guarantee policy. His goal was to offer the strongest, lightest and best-working parts at an affordable price. In 1998 Joe saw a need for a company that truly understood the Mustang racer’s suspension needs. Probably their greatest achievement was building the first 8 second True Street and undefeated 3 time World Ford Challenge winner 95 GT Mustang driven by Willie Figueroa.
Together with their employees Jeremy Martorella and Bart Tobener they amassed more racing victories and records than any other shop. UPR Products was started in 1989 by long time Ford drag racer Mark Mainiero and his son Joe.
