Harsh mang Do you work for MM? Sounds like you dont like factory performance parts from Ford I know the MM's are good and have used them SEVERAL times before. It looked like I could not remove the brace to drop the tranny once the MM were welded in, but after looking at the picture and seeing where the bolts are located I guess I will order another one. I sold it for $120, so I am only out the gas money to go get another one at Late Model.

The Ford ones are fine, I had a buddy who bought them and worked well. And actually, there is another company better than MM. Griggs Racing, they engineered and designed all of the parts MM uses.

Sounds like Laser found a good deal. MM isn't the only company out there that makes good parts.

Griggs stuff is good for racing, but it isnt as durable as MM's parts when it comes to street driving...Not too sure about there SFC's though?

Just debating here

I have seen many cars run Griggs on the street and never have a problem, except too good of handling in a car, lol. With that said, listen to what you said the stuff is good enough for racing, but not street driving. Griggs was designed on some of the most grueling road courses known to man. Where do you think MM sniped, I mean got the idea for their parts, .

Your right about there parts standing up to track abuse, but those tracks dont have large bumps, road hazards, & pot holes that can crack a K member etc....

Some of mm's part are the same, but some are different..One thing I like that Griggs has, but not MM is the front SLA setup....

Thats why they put a lifetime guarantee on it. And advertise it as daily driver to track use. I have never heard of one cracking, and I have had 3 friends use them (lucky bastards).

Just found this, haven't read any specs on them before but they are powder coated, for $99 bucks plus free (FREE) shipping it's not a bad deal. J&M's run similar to MM's stuff




Don't know if they come with the seat reinforcements

it's kind of like comparing bending a piece of metal and hitting it with a hammer

Track Vs Street in rigidity

MM's (hammer analogy) are great for jounces, jarring, pot holes, almost anything you can throw at them because they are built thicker/stronger. You know when you buy an MM product because the only thing that will wear down will be the bushings.

Griggs (bending analogy) are built for lightest weight/as strong as it can be

Was a real good debate, I would still build mine with Griggs anyday over MM. I guess I am partial, I used to live real close to the area MM is at, and I just know how they got their start. They used to be a Griggs technology part for half the price, you know to help the little guy out. But then they became this big company that made semi-equal quality parts to Griggs and charged an arm and a leg. And, when you buy Griggs parts you get an actual warranty. The performance shop I used in SoCal for years used MM parts untill they ramped the prices up, then they just started using Griggs since the prices were so close. Many strret cars that could afford it used Griggs, and there were never any issues. The parts held up just as long if not longer than those from MM. Epik, arent you real close to MM in SLO, Ca?
