I have them on my 03 and I had them on my 00 GT. Great product.

Man! Hans Racecraft & Global West definitely blow away everything else I've seen! Yes, they cost more, you get more for those bucks.

I find it interesting that Kenny Brown doesn't offer full length frames. :shrug:

Side by side they are nearly identical. The only thing with the Steeda I like better is they have a plate that you weld to the torque box, helps tie all 3 pieces of the torque box together. A known inherent weakness in our cars.

I bought the same thing for the same reason. Get the torque boxes welded together when you do the subframes anyways.

I wanted Global West, but I have not heard of good news on the time it takes to get them. I wasn't going to cut out the floorpan for griggs and hans either.

That's what I have heard too. Is the difference big enough between those and MM SFC's to justify their price? The Hans Racecraft ones are like $500. Anyone think they are worth that?

I do

2veloce, I saw your pics in a previous thread, and I have to say those are some amazing looking SFC's. I bet your car feels rock solid with those on. I really need to get some for my Vert, and maybe I'll cough up the money for the Hans Racecraft ones.

Wow, those definately blow away the competition. Do you really have to cut out the floor pan for those?? That is some clean ass cobra though.

Within about 3 hours of bitching about my Global West subframes UPS showed up with them. I wish I had posted a month ago. Now only if my JBA headers show up.
