Default subframes>>> custom or premade?

IYO should I custom make a pair of subframes, or should I just go with a bolt-on/weld-on kit? Which have you found to be cheaper? Anyone have custom pics?

I'm very pleased with mine. http://www.midnightdsigns.com/Mustang/subframe.html
They made a HUGE difference in the ride of the car. Probably one of the top 5 mods to do to a car.

Daze also sells a set that are much like these... good deal.

So I think that yes I am capable of this.... plus i have an uncle who built bombs for the government for a lil bit so hes one of the top welders in the US so if i need help i got him if ya wanna borrow him hes like 100 bucks an hr and he doesnt hear so well so ya... [8D] ya i figured the only problem i am going to have is availability of supplies but i always have my uncle to lean up agianst cuz he has basically everything so ya..

I put a set of these on my car also but I haven't driven it yet. The fit was very good but like most things, the prep was a PITA. $120 + shipping wasn't too bad either.
