Sub Frames are ON!

[Poisonous Mods]

Friend thinks im crazy for getting Sub Frames on before i do mods that will help my ET :shrug: But i figure that the Uni-Body on our Mach1's arent the best Platform out on the Road. Plus it dates back to the Fairlanes :nonono:

$260.00 for the Maximum Motorsports Full Lenght Sub Frames & Installed.... Cant beat that....plus some insurance that the Uni-Body wont de-form.

Heres a Pic before....yeah pretty CRAPPY stuff from FORD!

Heres the Pic After the Install. XMP painted the bare subs :beer:

Does it make a difference...IMO it does. Coming from an 03 Cobra with 18k miles on it, Well lets say that the Solid Rear Axcel felt a bit strange. Now bumps can come my way with out it feeling so bad.....not sure if Welding the Torque Box up did the trick :shrug:

Im happy & thats all it matters ;-)

That's interesting, the 04's have them on from the factory. That is a great mod to do with these uni-bodies.

So do the '03s...see his first post and pic...they are of significantly lower quality than the MM subs, and are bolted on, not welded :bored:

Yes...03 & 04 all come with the subs from Factory but its really shy from being close to quality or even a full lenght. Car feels much better during the turns ;-). Had another chance to drive her late last night :beer:


THIS IS THE PIC OF THE FACTORY SUBS...notice the wholes where the bolts are taken out from.

Grinding, Weld the subs, Torque Box & painted the exposed surface ;-).

Welding the torque boxes is actually probably one of the first things I should be doing to my 98 Cobra. I ripped the passenger side of my 93 5.0 torque box and let me tell you...that was $hitty!
