Default Subframe connector PKG

Well I am looking for a good subframe connector package that will be able to contain my drive shaft if it just so happens to come loose from the rear end. I have found one on mustangsunlimited and I was wondering if any of you have used this one/ what you think.

I am also up for other suggestions. Thanks

Do you take your car to the track or is your car a cruiser?

heres a pic of that setup in my 64 1/2 restomod coupe. one of the best bang for the buck things you can do to your car.
I added the rack and coilovers at the same time too though. plan on doing a custom exhaust i had to.

I haven't taken it to the track, but I wouldn't hesitate while using these subframes.

Have you looked at Heidt's? They have one for $250.00 with the loop. Plus you can upgrade later to the 4-link or if you need to go with a 9-in you can always spring for the irs. I know it cost a lot but if you go with a 9in, 31 spline NEW you will have $3k in that.
In answer to the 500 hp without a rollcage.....you can do what you want, but if I had 500 hp in an early Mustang I'd put a cage in the car. (a custom built 10 point cage).
