i was doing some resuch on rear end suspensions. from what i understand from several sights, is that http://www.maierracing.com/ is very well respected among the race guys. I was going though there inventory and read something about 'there'' round stock subframe connectors being the way to go. any way check um out.

Subframe connectors are good, but if it was me, I would weld in a steel trunk/seat divider as well. It can be made from scrap. In a "real" test, it showed quiet a bit more improvment than subframe connectors.

I'm very happy with the fitment on my Heidts connectors and the x-brace they offer for them. The brace also includes a driveshaft loop and this whole system ties into the leaf spring eye bolts and has provisions for under rider traction bars.



There is also a guy that makes tubular connectors locally and I can tell you first hand the quality of his work is some of the best I have ever seen.

Do they make a kit for this or would I use scrap sheet? What about an x brace instead of a divider?

I could not give you an accurate weight on the whole set-up but from what I remember when I installed it, not a whole lot.

I'm doing both. Mustangs Unlimited makes the divider pretty cheap.
