what the.. you didn't feel the difference?

subframe connectors act as a chassis brace for the whole car. If you ever seen a Truck H-Frame it serves the same purpose. It's gives the car the overall structural rigidness. I don't see how you didn't feel the difference your ass must be numb..

How do the full length MM subs compare to the Kenny Brown super subs? I am considering the Kenny Browns because I think at some point I want to add the rest of the exteme matrix kit. I like the idea of having the jacking rails which makes the car soooo much easier to get in the air.

Get the Kenny brown extreme matrix sub system with a rear shock tower brace, you will be very happy if you do.

if you're going to go ahead and get the matrix and jacking rails with it go KB. if you're going to go subframe connectors alone MM is the way to go. MM makes them with thicker metal..

hmm i think i am going to say to experiment with kenny brown extreme sub system... i haven't heard anything about them, but their pics and site seems really confident that they are good...

if you want anything that's proven good... then go with maximum motorsports subs

At 70k miles, do you plan on keeping the car for awhile? If so, do it.

My vert already came with two square black bars on the bottom. Is that the subframe? Will I need to remove that when installing the new subframe?
