Yep, MM would be the best. http://www.maximummotorsports.com/

If you do find another company you want to go with, just make sure they are full length.

I prefer the construction of the Laurel Mountain Mustang full length ones.

I've been in a debate between LMM and MM subframes


Thats a big price difference between the 2.

If I went with MM should I go for the powder coated ones.. or just the bare metal and paint them black after they are installed.

You get what you pay for. I've seen pics of the LMM subs and I have MM's...the difference is huge.
With the powdercoated ones, you (or your installer) will have to grind off the powdercoating where welding...so the chance for rust is still there. That said, I opted for the bare ones, had the guy paint em after welding em in, and they still are trying to rust a bit near the ends and around the welds. If I had it to do over, I'd probably get the powdercoated to protect 95% of em, but paint will do a good job as well...you may just have to reapply every couple of years.

I feel a difference, but it wasnt as drastic as yours probably because the Machs come with the crappy bolt in subframes. They werent the best, but they are better than nothing.

I see that yours are welded in as well? Did you mean the stock subframes that came with the Mach 1?

MM is very good but I think the KB, and GW make better subframe connectors.

I had the bolt in Mach 1 subframes b4 I added the MM full lengths. what i meant was the feeling wasnt as drastic as welding in subframes on a car that had no subframes b4.
