Default Subframe Connectors

Im looking to get some subframe connectors, and I was wondering what the difference was between $120 big brand (Steeda, MM) ones and the $50 ones on Ebay? They look very similar. If you have subframe connectors, what brand did you go with and how are they? I was considering the ones that could bolt and weld in. This way I could go ahead and bolt them in right away, and then weld them in when I got a chance. Would I see any difference with only bolting them in verses stock w/o them? I saw some MAC ones for $50 that could do both...

You'll see the difference with just bolting them in. They might be given some room to flex just bolted in, but it'll still be a gigantic improvement over stock. I'd just hang on and get them welded in place.

the MM full length ones and they are great. best suspension mod i did and you can really tell a difference.
i'd get full length ones either way you go but i recommend the MM ones just from experience.

i have a set of Kenny Brown full length weld-ins that i still have never gotten installed...you guys think it would run about what 50 bucks for install if that?...is it true that you can't run side-exit exhaust with them? judging by that pic it seems true...also do you guys who have them feel more of a "difference" in handling or more when launching?

Handling is MUCH tighter! Probably a little more than 50 for install, though.
