first impressions after MM full length subframe install

[Dan_Soprano]

congratulations! Is this your first?

yep! First one! We are hoping for a boy, but at this point we really just want a healthy pregnancy, and healthy normal baby!

 

[Dan_Soprano]

looks goo. dan, are these things super heavy? do you know around what they weigh?

not too heavy, they are very sturdy pieces. If I had to guess I would say about 40-50lbs together if that.

 

[Stang|ess]

meh, I couldn't notice a dramatic difference when I got mine installed.

You probably put them on backwards...j/k

Not even! The shipping weight was 27lbs for my set I believe, so probably 20-25 installed.

Speaking of installed....I STILL haven't gotten mine installed either...yeah...

27lbs......for full lengths?? Maybe, I guess the box was just really bulky.

good luck, you will love it, I have three and it has been 17 years since my first.....I remember the mm full length sfc being pretty heavy, seemed like more than 27 lb's. anyway, i think they are a must on any stang.

thanks brother!

 

[Skidzz]

Yep, mine made a big difference. I was disappointed at first, but that's because I hadn't driven it hard around any turns yet. Once I did.....I noticed a HUGE reduction in body roll

 

[Ken01GTvert]

MM makes some nice stuff! I added the full length SFCs and a 3 point strut tower brace and now driving around corners is like night and day difference.

mine would twist quite a bit under hard acceleration. Not any more!

 

[01Steeda]

Those are nice, but my shop custom made mine.. heavier material and they dont hang as low because he wrapped the frame and followed the car.. I'll take some pics tomorrow and post. i paid 250 installed but they blow away the prefabbed pieces out there.

oh and the connectors ford puts on the verts is a waste of material lol.. skimpy little bolt in crap.

If you read almost any high performance book on Mustangs, (Fox body or SN95) the first thing you do is stiffen the chassis, THEN add power and suspension and brakes.
