yes, put them on,alothough I dont know whats the difference between 93'and why you couldnt put on subframe connectors?anyway youll feel a difference in how stiff the body is. I have them and there great. they made the frame stiffer.

Yeah who knows why Ford didn't just make the frame pieces connect, they're like 2 feet from each other.

Go for it.

Definitely go for the subframe connectors and get them welded on by a good shop or welder.
They will really improve the handling both on the road and at the track if you go there.

Look into the subframe connectors with the seat supports and that they are full length connectors.
And yes,weld them in.Dont let someone talk you into just bolting them into place.

and make sure you get them painted or powdercoated cause they will rust like the ones i got on my car (i didnt install them, the first owner did and im the 3rd owner) so im going with Maximum Motorsports Full Length Subframe Connectors that are powdercoated black for a 149.00 check them out http://www.maximummotorsports.com/sfc.asp
