Default subframe connectors....help me out really quicklyplease

ok i am about to get the griggs regular length subframe connectors and get them welded in, im just driving around the streets and maybe racing on the streets a few times a month... im not going to the track or any super hardcore stuff ... u guys think regular length subframes are good enough, because to get the full lengths and get them installed its about 200 more dollars that if i dont really need to use, i dont want to , because i dont really have it, so u guys think regular lengths are good enough for my application.. let me know, thanks

Shop around for another install place.... Full-legnths are 4 times better than regulars, but you will still feel a difference w/ the regulars.

Good Luck!

Sounds like a lot, how much were the control arms? PS. You can buy the full legnth subs already coated.

the reason why im paying this much is because i dont want a half *** welding job, this place that im going to has been around for 50 years, specializing in mustangs, they ONLY work on stangs.... very reputable, and when it comes to welding subframes, u can do a half *** job and itll be a waist of money, i want a well done high quality job from mustang pros... make sense?

I always thought welding was welding...
As long as the carpets removed I don't see how you can 'flop' this job.

Price is a little high, but specialty shops always are. Just go ahead and do it!
