maximum motorsports XL subframes. every place that sells them is within 10 bucks of MM online store... so its not a real difference.

Kenny Brown, you can get the Matrix style or just the main sub-frames first and later upgrade to the Matrix which attaches to the main rails.

MM full length sub frames are very good. I would only go with a set that is full length and welded in.

I went with the best - Griggs. Find a shop that's going to do the install (make sure the car is lifted by the tires) and have them order the SFC's. Mine cost $125 installed.

Usually you will get multiple opinions, all biased towards what ever that person has on their car.

I did my own research for a few months before making a descion. I narrowed it down to the Kenny Brown and the MM. I chose the full Kenny Brown Matrix System because to me it makes sense to have the extra matrix brace and the jacking rails over just a sub frame connector.

lgndracer is correct, its all opinion as to what people are going to suggest. i was sold on the MM subs when a kenny brown dealer said to get hte MM instead of the KB. He said that the KB flex more then the MM will, and discouraged my purchase. so that set the stage for me. i'll be getting mine within a month.

I'm about to order the MM as well from mustangtuning $129 for the XL serier. They claim and i quote"The MM XL Series Full-length Subframe Connectors stiffen your chassis far more than standard connectors. The taller tubing of the new XL Series creates a connector that is 95% stiffer than a standard subframe connector"
i guess that was enough for me to make my choice

imo, for the money, the MM XL's are unbeatable. has anyone tried to fit the jacking rails to the MM XL's?

You aren't the only one who had to do the same thing...Screw that Keeny Brown crap.
Go MM, and, if you have broadband internet access, ck out the in car videos on their homepage of their American Iron Series Fox. It's inspiring and a kick in the a$$.

Look at laurel mountain mustang's full subs. their MM knock offs with less welding and have a 'Torque Box Reinforcement Plate' that you can jack with.

they're also cheaper too
