I'm putting the Steeda's in my 03 probably end of this month or early february, they look like the best of all available because the reinforce the torque boxes adn are full length, maximum and kenny browns look good too, just not as good imo.

They make a huge difference in the over all feel of your car. It makes it very tight. Everyone should put them on before they do anything else mod wise. I didn't have them on, and I was spraying my car. And i tweeked the whole dam car. I still have two little dents in both sides of the quarters on my car, form the whole car twisting. Then ihad a hell of a time welding the subs. on because the car was out of wack and nothing would line up.

1. You need to be able to move underneath the car so you need a lift, BUT you need a lift that lifts the car by the tires cuz the weight needs to be sprung.</P>


2. you need to know how to mig or tig weld</P>


3. you need to able to get some good paint on it, meaning not the stuff that comes ina spray can. </P>


4. a small grinder is very helpful for any modifications you might need to do.</P>


5. Other than that it's simple.</P>


I'll take pics of mine wheni do it but it won't be till end of january or febrruary most likly.</P>

Just what ever you do. Buy the weld-ons. OR by the bolt-ons but weld them up. It's a pain in the *** to blot themon. plus it's not as strong as the weld.</P>

Get the full length subframes from Maximum Motorsports. They made a HUGE difference in my car.</P>

when i got kenny brown sub frames, and kenny brown jack rails put on my cobra, i had kb upper and lower control arms already on there, but i was running 10.5 street tires. they did such a great job eliminating chassis flex, so all the power was transfered to the tires, and they would just spin (off the line, 20mph, 40mph, it really didnt matter). my 1/8 times went down pretty bad. i wouldnt recomend getting sub frames on high hp vehicles unless you plan on running slicks.
