B. Subframe Connectors
Subframe connectors should be the first modification done to a mustang. They improve every aspect of your cars performance. Griggs and Maximum Motorsports sell the best. MM's full length subframe connectors are the standard and most people will not need anything stronger. For those wanting the strongest frame possible go with Griggs Complete frame kit, also recommended for high horse power convertibles that don’t want to run a roll cage. Those wanting the ultimate look no further than Griggs World Challenge Frame Kit (note they are visible in the car but are the strongest mustang frame kit in the world).

I'd recommend getting these: http://www.maximummotorsports.com/i...roduct_info&cPath=122_124_233&products_id=584. IMO, get the "bare" ones and not the powder coated ones, as that stuff is a PITA to get off.

+1 I went with the full length mm ones

Isnt that the point?

yes it is but you have to grind off the powder in the areas that are to be welded and it's a major PITA

i coated my bare MMs with POR15 and they still like great after 3 years

Oh ok, for welding purposes I can understand the powder coat being some trouble. Dont you have bolt on options for subframes as well?

youm cant just grind it down? and vis-versa can you get them powder coated some place with the weld spots marked off?

I'm thinking of subframes from here:

Scroll down a little and you'll see them for our cars.

That's good to hear because the way the car sits no I can't afford to lose ground clearance.

 

[ynotsvt]

I have the full length maximum motorsports. Night and Day difference....but then again I have a 'vert. I didn't do sfcs on my old coupe.

Dude, you really have an impact gun just hanging from your car ha.

I've had the shorty FMS tubular SFC's, some no name box SFC's, and the MMFLSFC's.

MM by far. If you could just set them all next to each other, there would be no question about it.

I also recommend the bare ones, just make sure you paint the top before having them welded on.
