I have the MM and no noise issues at all. Originally I had 325# springs in the front with 475# in the rear. This was a good all around set up. Stiffer than stock, but could still get good transfer for drag racing.

Now I run 375# front and 575# rear, I like to drive road courses. This is a great combo for that. I will probably go a touch stiffer. For drag racing, this set up sucks. I lost half a second with these spring rates.

Billy did my car a couple weeks ago. Full MM coil overs on all four corners. I run the 10" 400# springs up front with 8" 600# springs in the back. That is along with the Bilstein Sport valved struts/shocks. The ride is awesome. No noises. It rides way better than stock and hugs the road like a champ. I fefinitely recommend them.

I like the UPR stuff on my car but the ride quality is a little painful at times. The roads around me are pretty awful though I don't really think it matters.

MM people, have you had both? Just wondering how your comparing. I have both on two different cars. I think as far as ride quality and noise they are the exact same. I like UPR due to the weight savings over the heavy MM.

I have a UPR kit waiting to go on something. Probably put it on my '90GT. Then I'll have both. But wont have it done anytime soon.
