Is there really a difference in subframe connector brands?
 

I'm placing the order on SFC's tonight am trying to decide if brand really matters. I can't see that it does but just want to make sure. Thanks.

yea me too...i want some for my cobra..let me know what brands you are looking at i am curios..i want to get the bolt in ones due to ease of install or so i think....i dont know how to use a welder nor do i honestly want to pay to get it done...i am thinking about th eBBK bolt in ones, becasue i think they are only $109 for bolt in..

say no to bolt in. youll benefit more by getting them welded. im thinking of going with bbk or kenny brown.

Go full-length, as spets recommends.

Look into Maximum Motorsports and Kenny Brown. Of course (everyone who knows me KNOWS this is comin' :D)....

he he he :D

haha, i've seen that pic of your car before. very impressive.

are the ones on americanmuscle generally the same metal and thickness? i would think that would be the main concern since lots of people just weld up their own SFC's

i got the UPR weld ins for pretty cheap. worked good for me

I got Global West Connectors and welded them in myself. Easier than I thought it would be, toughest part was making sure the suspension was fully loaded.

made my own with thick gauge box steel, only cost me 16 bux if i remember correctly.

maximum sports full length and they need to be welded in. I would spend the extra $$$ as this is one mod you will never replace.

what sfc do i use for my vert?

+1 for MM SFC's. Make sure when you weld them on that the full weight of the car is on the suspension. A "drive on" lift is your best bet. If you do it with your suspension unloaded you will run the risk of essentially welding the car crooked.

Your 'vert already has SFC's, although it would never hurt to upgrade to some beefier ones.

the vert has a short sfc and it would be good if you upgraded to a full length sfc

ok so a drive up lift is waht you need then huh...ill have to find a shop and i guess ill get the MM

I hear MM is good but I went with Steeda. As long as they are weld in and full length, then you really can't go wrong. I love my Steeda SFCs.

I love my MM full length.
I think the cross pieces that reinforce the seat area are a big help.
That and the pan hard are probably the best value per $$$ spent on my car.
No more butt wiggle and snap coming out of corners at speed.
My friend Jim likes em or at least I think he does from what he said in my car last time.
"Wheres the OH! S@#$ handle, how can a mustang not have an OH! S@#$ handle?"

MM and Steeda SFCs are basically the same. They both are full length and they both have the cross pieces underneath the seat.

Haven't checked out the panhard bars but it seems that they are worth the money.

My friends agree, why don't Mustangs have Oh Sh!t handles???????

Agreed... Spend the extra money OP and buy the ones that need to be welded in. Also alot of people take the carpet out of there car for fear of it catching on fire. I didn't and I had no issues...

I've never heard about taking out the carpet. I didn't either and there was no problem at all.

Maximum motorsports, full length, welded in. Consider their Panhard bar as well, it improves cornering TREMENDOUSLY!

When I thought about putting the subframes in my car a couple guys here told me that I would have to take the carpet out . A few welding shops here told me they wouldn't touch it unless I take the carpet out (I was pissed). Luckily I found some one here that could do it for me without ripping out the carpet.

another +1 on the MM sfc
