subframe connector install question?

[ebablos]

Anyone familiar with the installation of connectors on a fox convertible? I thought I heard that you had to remove the stock reinforcing plates that are riveted at the front and rear torque boxes. Is this the case and also how difficult is the install, which ones would you get etc.?

I got Maximum Motorsports full length on my vert. I read teh instructions and I didn't see anything about removing the reinforcing plates but I had a shop weld them in for me.

I suppose it depends on the brand you buy, because I've never heard of having to remove anything. That sounds rather counterproductive, IMO. Regardless, I have and like the full length Maximum Motorsports ones. The main thing about buying subs is that you get weld in, not bolt in; and preferably full length, not standard length. They aren't an expensive enough part to be worth going cheap on, just get good ones and have it done right so you won't be sorry later. I wouldn't say it's difficult, but it is involved. You'll want somebody who'se good with a torch doing it, and a good set will need to be welded in peice by peice so it's a bit time consuming- but it isn't rocket science. Something that should be done to every Mustang.
