I never knew my car had so much flex until I had them installed yesterday. The car rides like it's new again. I've been reading here on Stangnet for a while deciding on which subframe connectors to go with and I decided to go with Maximum Motorsports. The best bang for the buck so far. WOW. For all of those that don't have them on their car yet, get them, get them, get them NOW. A huge world of difference on ride and handling. You'll love them.

Thanks. I had trouble deciding between MM, Global West & Kenny Brown. I'm glad I went with MM. I don't think it gets any better than MM.

Can't wait to drive my car today. Even though I have nothing to do. I just want to cruise in my car only because it rides so much better. LOL.

What else can I do to firm my chassis even more? It's a 2000 GT Vert. I know verts are nothing compared to a coupe but what other options do I have.

Would they make a BIG difference on a NON-vert?

Griggs infloor sub-frame kit. Makes the car feel like you are driving a steel I-beam.

You're the only one that said that subframes are a waste of money. Every post I've read only raves about how great the subs work. IMHO, every penny was worth spent. $250 out the door. Not bad IMO. Especially with the results of the outcome.

I just got mine installed. It is a huge difference. My wife even made a comment at how much different the car felt and she was only a passenger.

That sounds like a mod that I should consider. Isn't that a lot of work and customizing. How much am I looking at?

When I originally got my MM full length subs I didn't really notice any difference.

Now that I'm supercharged I definitely can feel it holding the car together when I get on it and also i'm starting to feel the benefits in turns.

It was definitely worth the money for me in the long run but initally i didn't really feel any difference.

LOL LOL. Same here. Last night I picked my girl up from work and she had no idea what was just done to the car. She said that the seats felt stiffer than it was before and the car ran smoother. She said "How much did you just spend?" and I said "What are you talking about? The car had always felt like this." She said "BULL$H!T!!!" LOL LOL

Where I live, theres alot of construction going on right now. They tore the streets up bad. With the subs, there's no rockin' & rollin' anymore. The car is nice & tight. Almost like a heavy duty truck. On smooth roads, I don't feel any difference.

IMO it is the next step. Do you really need it? It all depends if you need a stiffer chassis. It is pricey. The kit alone is around $200 and install is around $800 but for the price is still worth it.

where'd you have them installed and how much did you pay for the install if you don't mind me asking? I'm still looking for a good shop that won't charge me too much...
