Default subframe connectors

i am considering subframes and i just have a few questions. what kind/brand did you go with? how much did you pay for the install? and were they worth it? thanks in advance for your responses.

i have a 96 gt and am just starting my suspension. Ialready have KYB shocks andstruts and tubular upper and lower control arms that i am going to install in the next few days.i would also appreciate anyother suspension recommendations that you may have.

just take it to a good muffler shop for install, and dont worry about removing any carpet. if you look at where your welding, its no on the floorpans. just make sure to skip around to let the heat dissapate. also take a rattle can with you and make sure to hit it after its cool

I built mine myself. Total cost of parts was $40 and powdercoating was another $40. I welded them in myself, and I love them.

Mine are from Maximum Motorsports... they go in this thursday, I'll do a writeup on it and tell everyone how they feel and how the install was.
