Default Subframe Connectors?

So im looking at subframe connectors, what do you guys suggest, standard of full length? I go to the drag strip once and a while and i want to start doing some auto cross. Also anyone know what the average install price is?

Fulllength is the only way to go. I think it cost me $100 to have mine welded on.

i have been quoted from $100 to $200 for the install. So expect somewhere around that price range.

Definately go with full length sfc's. Maximum Motorsports is a popular choice. I have them and they definately firmed up the ride. Seems to launch straighter now.

Get MM XL full length ones. I got the powdercoated ones since it wasn't much more and I am happy with it. Also make sure when it is getting welded on that the car is lifted by the wheels and not by the chassis.

I really wish they made a hardcore X-brace like they do for the F-bodies, but anyways the install really shouldn't be more than 100 bucks (couple hours of welding). I don't know where some shops get off telling people that they need to remove the interior just to weld them in. I guess they are using arc welders or something.

What kind of difference do you feel in normal driving after installing sfc's. I heard it stops a lot of the vibration inside the car.
