+ 1... MM are probally the best weld in Subframes on the market right now.. The only problem you may have is some welding shops will not weld it on your car without you taking out the floor carpet.. I went to like 3 different shops and this is what I was told. I finally found a place that would do it and I had no problems..

Spend the extra and get full length subframes. Maximum Motorsports makes a great set. Steeda's full length look the same as MM's, but don't come with the same reinforcement pieces.

Bit of a Problem guys.. "NOTE: Does not fit 1979-1993 Convertibles."

Does anyone know of alternatives?
Could the MM connectors be modified - or does that totally defeat the purpose of adding them.

Edit:

These two don't say they wont fit Cheap ones and Steeda ones
is the difference from the MM connectors that great?

I would reccommend finding a good welding shop and have them frabricate you some. It may be exspensive but this may be your only alternative..

I think I found a work around Vert connectors.

Though I can't see a damn difference from the regular ones. Maybe the just reused the same picture?

Maximum motorsports website says that these will work. If you are unsure call them. They are great to work with.

The first 3 shops were the ones that knew what they were doing.
