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.

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' )....

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 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.

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.
