Maximum Motorsports XL weldin's, the difference is very noticeable, they run $150 for the powdercoated ones, plus weld them on a drive on lift if its accessable and be sure the top is up and the doors, trunk, and hood are all shut and the windows are all up.

It would make that big a difference if the windows and top was up?????

ok the local place, which was referred from this site, is kinda pushing me away from the full length subframe connectors. when i called back he said the one's he has will be more than enough for my car. never had a place trying to talk me out of spending more money (since the full length would cost more). does this make any sense? should i go with what he's saying? im sure the regular subframe connectors are better than nothing, but am i really going to notice a difference between full length & regular? keep in mind, i'm not going to the track to race my car. just basically for my enjoyment when driving.

What is the price diference between them ?
Can you post pics or links to the two subframe types ?

If the local shop is also going to install them, they may feel it is too much of a pain to install the full lenghnt ones .....

I dont know, I like the full length. I dont understand why he is steering you away from them. Did he give any explanation?

no. he just said that i didnt need them. and what he has was good enough. his were running $90. the MM full length are like $120 with $30 for shipping. but there are a couple from blue oval on ebay for like $80 & $30 shipping for the full length.

i am assuming those are like the ones this place is selling. i think im going to just get the full length from blue oval and find someone else to put them on since this place doesnt want to do what i was asking.

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.


that can really FUK up your ride, the weld ons need to be placed with weight on all 4 wheels, the 4 point will cause flex, then you weld them on that way.. and youre in BIG trouble
