Side question, where do you guys get these installed? Welded on or bolted on?

any competent welder can do it, whether its from a muffler shop or a performance shop. Don't bother with subframe connectors that bolt on, get it welded.

When i got mine to two things i really noticed were no more wheelhop when i launched, and no more of that "weird skittish feel" when i hit bumps.

Considering the Mustang is not one of the "tightest" built cars on the road, i would really consider this to be an "essential mod" if you care about your cars longevity at all.

VERY (< cannot be stressed enough!) important to confirm the car is supported by ALL FOUR WHEELS on even and level surface when welding the sub-frames. There are alternative ways, but this is the safest.

Good mod. Def worth the money. But stick with full length weld-in SFCs. Any competent welder can do the job.

What if a guy wants to install these with jacks and jackstands cause I don't have a lift. Can I support the rearend with stands and support the front with jacks under the A-arms?
