I haven't had any problems with UPR or Team Z parts, but I have to say for "K" members I will only buy Anthony Jones Engineering (AJE). I have never tried AJE suspension components, but if they are like their "K" members, they are good.

My car will 60ft in the 1.2's on radials with UPR stuff. John Urist is much faster than that on UPR. And no 9.60 is not fast. I base this on everyone slower that me is not fast and everyone quicker than me is fast.

I'd buy his stuff but I dont like the way his K-member drops the steering rack a full inch lower than stock. His rear suspension however is tits.
Im kinda with you on this one. Ive got MM everyshit under my car. Most of it in the rear is some of the same stuff you would probably use in a drag set up. My car is set up for the twisties but i have had it on the strip and with worn out nittos it hooked better than ever and went straight without an issue, and it is set up stiff. If you are looking for quality I can assure you it is there, customer service is great as well. I called them and told them what i had in my car and what i had plans for it and they set me up a suspension package. Is it gonna be the lightest out there, I doubt it. But i do feel you get your moneys worth

Racecraft if you want the best, but it's pricey. UPR is plenty good enough for what you want to do. Team Z is good, so is Wolfe.

I would say that they are all overkill for you so you mine as well save some money and get UPR.
