I think Maximum Motorsports offers both the ones you're talking about, one are the standard and one are longer "full length" subframe connectors. I cant imagine the full length ones doing much more, seems like they either hold the car in place or they dont... whatever you do, get weld on ones.

I'd say that unless you are planning on running the crap out of your car, standard sub-frames (4 footers) will do just fine. That's what a local shop told me, but even they are running stardard length on their drag cars. Can't wait to get mine installed in a week.

Think of it in extreme measures. If your subframes are 1' long, they're not gonna do much because all but 1' of the car will be able to twist. Now, if they went from bumper to bumper, absolutely no part of the car would twist. Extreme examples, but you get the idea. the 4'ers are fine for you, if you get a good deal on the 6's then by all means, but you'll be fine with 4

If you need a set of subframe connectors, I got a pair that I will sell ya. They are the weld in kind and also have the seat brackets. I bought them and decided to go with 6 footers.
LMK.
Will be advertising them soon.

You could make your own 6ft's... Companys act like they're made of gold or something
