i put subframes and a roll bar in mine all at once, that helped IMMENSELY. went with maximum motorsports for both things, had no trouble with either install, tho we did have to bend the subframes about a half to full inch for an optimal fit.

now those of you that do already have subframe connectors, do you have regular or full length? any major benefits or problems by going with one or the other? i found a local place to me to do it for about $212.

not much point in not getting the full lengths. youre in a vert, so you need all the chassis stiffening you can afford.

I have heard of muffler shops installing SFC's for like $50. They have a lift, and it only takes them a little while to weld them on there.
