How much difference will subframe connectors make?

[50FoxBodyGT]

My fox twists up pretty good when I get on it. I expected some of this since it is a vert but it's pretty bad. Will SFCs help that at all?

 

[Blakthorn]

YES!

For everyone asking

do this mod already, its one of the cheapest and easiest to do, just get it done

This should be one of the first things people do to a Fox Chasis Mustang when you get one. They make a world of difference between super-flexible and almost a decent car.

If you have a convertible, sometimes SFC's alone are not enough. I know they weren't in my case. I needed a Strut tower bar as well to really keep things rigid in heavy cornering or hard launching.

Does anyone think that having a stiffer chassis allows the suspension to do it's job better? Just a random thought.

Very true indeed. Good point

Man, that's a fine car, one of the best looking I've seen period.

i really love how nice and simple and clean that car is. its how i want mine to look when its done, sept in white. and people can say all they want about saleen wings and cobra wheels being common but you know what? they jus flat out look good.

Thanks. I truly appreciate the kind words.

You hit the nail on the head. I was looking for a clean look. All I have left for the body is a cowl hood.

Forgot about that. Definitly helped there as well.

Well, I was able to get them installed a day early. I really should have reconsidered and went with the MM full lengths, but I already had these, and money is tight right now. I'm also really impaitient.

Anyway, all I can say is why the fu#k did I wait this long? It is like driving a completely different car. I noticed a difference the second I sat in it to drive it off the lift. No joke. I never realized how much flex there really was. I immediatly thought the seat was raised up when I first sat in it. I'm not the lightest guy in the world, but I never really thought the center flexed like that. Driving it is now fun again. Bumps make the car feel really solid. Deff. one of the best mods I've done to the car. It is better than I imagined.

I can't imagine what the full lengths would feel like.

what u mean, the car will hook better when shifting to 2nd??

 

[9 Deuce GT]

I think he means that the difference between no sub frames and having subframes is like the difference between sqeeking 2nd and total loss of controll in 2nd.

Thats exactly how I would have described it.

Same thing happed to me with my first fox and I said wow.

Heck, even when I bought my Cobra the very first mod I did was MM full lengths.

Worth every penny.

Glad to hear it worked out.
