Man there are so many subframe and strut tower combo's out there.

What would be the best route to go with my '90 LX?

Thanks!

Bump...

I would also like to hear from those who have tried the offerings from places like Maximum Motorsports, Steeda, and Kenny Brown.

Speak up, those of you who actually have the goods...

Steeda Full Length Subframes, I use to have just subframe connectors. Theres even a big difference going from connectors to full length. I would recomend them.

i have a kenny brown strut tower and it seems like a pretty sturdy piece. the only thing is alot of people have issues with them (strut tower braces in general) because they clutter up the engine bay and can cause problems with some intake manifolds..
my question is this- the older mustangs used strut tower braces that were just 2 bars going from the tower to the firewall, as where these after market ones for fox bodies have that extra bar in the middle......would there still be a bennefit to just having the 2 bars and not the 3rd one and does anyone make such a thing or is that counter productive on these cars???

you should make your own. Get the mustang performance handbook 2. They have good articles on how to make subframe connectors, strut tower braces front and rear. check it out. Or you can get MM everyone says good things about them.

Ooh, me, me!

Maximum Motorsports

Full Length SFCs
Bare steel
MMFL-2B
$119/set

(Get bare, and spray them with rust preventative spray paint)



MM Strut Tower Brace.
Powdercoated Black
MMSTB-1
$129/ea

I was creaking and cracking all over the place, and to drive into a 7-11 off the main street was very scary. After the FLSFCs though it is night and day.

Most important mod on a fox of any kind.

$225 labor for the FLSFCs (More for the vert because the vert brackets have to be ground down, and the FL have more parts to weld in.
