Not sure if this is the right section but...

Just wondering how good the parts were from BMR (Sorry, not UPR). They are significantly cheaper than Hotchkis but I fear they are not as good a part.

I know I have talked a lot about starting a Mustang project but ever since I was a kid I promised that the first car I ever fix up would be a 1972 El Camino for my Dad. As he isn't that old but is getting older I just thought it would behoove me to do this first. If it was the only car I ever get to do as a project I'd feel better doing this than anything else. So I am looking up A Body chassis parts and came across Hotchkis from my Chevy days so I want to know how good the Hotchkis parts are?

Plans were to use Hotchkis A-Arms and all replaceable suspension parts with Koni classic shocks. But the less expensive deal would appear to be the BMR parts.

Edit, UPR may not be the company I am thinking of sorry. I am currently trying to find said company. Found it, BMR. Sorry everyone, this thread may be useless. But I would like opinions on Hotchkis for older cars.

Give UMI a look also. Installed thier lower control arms, relocators & pahhard rod on my car. Been pretty impressed so far.

I'm really being serious. Before i ordered my BMR strut tower brace i searched BMR reviews. I had never heard of BMR before. I learned they make a lot of high quality products that fit and lasted. If a lot of the reviews were bad, i wouldn't have ordered the brace from them.

I just recently found UMI, looks like good quality parts also.

I didn't think you weren't being serious, just the way I read it was with a sarcastic tone. Probably because I'm sarcastic. Anyway, I did some research and just like I had expected, the Hotchkis equipment works best when put together. Just like if you put lowering springs on a car without good sway bars and it really doesn't do much of anything for you. So from what I read, the Hotchkis kits work really well. They are a bit more pricey but I think overall they aren't too bad.
