FLSFC well worth it. Roughly 500 install and parts give or take. Not sure about maintenance hazards but never got in my way or heard of it, but don't know, maybe someone else can answer for sure.

I got mine from American muscle and paid 150 for install. Make sure they are welded in by someone who has experience.

Yes they are quite cheap and help out quite a bit. Subframe connectors are a key component regarding traction on a Mustang, but a lot of people don't understand how or why they work. The stiffer the chassis is, the more effectively the rear suspension can do its job and ultimately transfer the power to the ground. I'm sure you somewhat know what the difference is between horsepower and rear-wheel horsepower when you are compareing your engine's HP output to the hp atthe wheels, you're really measuring how how efficiently your car transfers energy. The more rigid suspension, body and driveline components are, the less power you lose before reaching the ground.

Short version: They help transfer power to the ground

The sf connectors eliminate chassis flex....so I dont see how thats gonna help you hook at all.

I would say a set of drag radials or even better tires will make the most differance compared to anything else you can do.

The rear LCA's will definately help plant you but I doubt its gonna make a differance with ****ty street tires.

If you want to hook I say getting a set of drag radials or a good set of street tires will make 80% of the differance in hooking compared to lca's

Ive personally experienced great things from the good year eagle f1s and the vredestein sessanta ultratrac street tires, and im a blown car with a 3800 stall so believe me when I say these tires should pretty much dead hook for you.

If you have questions about suspension and what the component will do for you, you should read the suspension sticky in the 4.6 non general discussion section.
