I`m in the process of a rustoration on my 65 fastback. I would like to put in subframe connectors and i`m looking for feedback from people who have them. Why did you buy the one`s you did and would you buy them again? Thanks.

I used this one as well (except for the center section which is over kill for my use and would get in the way during maint.) and the quality was very good. I welded mine on and it did stiffen up the car.

I have the TCP set, including the center section. I have not had them getin the way for maint, I even did my C4 - T5 swap with them in. The outsides weld in, but the center bolts in, so you can pull it if need be.

The made a world of difference, and I will put them on any other classic Mustang I get.

That's what I have, and did.
Best Bang for the buck.

All the TCP stuff seems to get good reviews. Thank`s for the advice. How is the Exhaust Clearance?

Exhaust runs way inboard of the subframe connectors on my car so it does not have a clearance issue.

Maier Racing sub-frame connectors great design. I like them better than the GW, TCP and comp eng they mount in 2 location on each end and spread the force out over a greater distance and are very well made but they cost$$$ . Not the best bang for the buck but once installed they are going no where and add more of a frame than just a sub-fram becouse they are so long.

Have any pics of what you did?

I'm debating on doing my own likely integrals but want to see how others made it work otherwise.
