Default Subframe connectors, best bang for the buck??

Looking to buy some subframe connectors (prefer full length), and some torque box plates, what brand is the "best bang for the buck", or is a subframe connector a subframe connector?

A lot of people say can't beat maximum motorsports. I got a nice deal on ford racing ones which are tubular, they are bolt ins but I had them welded in and they are very strong. But, the fr ones are very hard to find

The racecraft or team z through the floor subframes are the best way to go, a little more money and a lot more labor to put them in but if you plan on increasing power in the future its your best bet

word to the wize: Even if you have the material laying around, dont make your own sfc's (if you haven't done it before). it took me a week! I could probly make a pair of sfc's in 1 day now that I know exactly what to expect. If your gonna do it right though, It's more than just angle cutting a bar and tacking it up. I'd pay $100 EACH for sfc next time, before I decide to make my own again.
But home made battle boxes are CAKE if you can weld. I just copied some install instructions I found online that had all the measurements!

We have sold many of the Steeda Full Length Subframe connectors and have many positive reviews on the board and our website. Dario knows these Mustangs like the back of his hand.

http://www.steeda.com/store/steeda-f...d-mustang.html

This is a great product and definitely a great bang for your buck. PM if you have any questions or need forum pricing.

Best Regards,

TJ

i thought i read somewhere.maybe it was a mustang magazine.they said full length subframe connectors are more prone to flex than standard length.
and definetely stay away from bolt ons unless you are welding too they will flex and waddle out bolt holes.
when i get mine either way im going maximum motorsports too,
