what subframe connectors do you guys have, i just installed the HR ss springs, bilstein shocks, caster camber plates, no subframe connectors, i had kyb struts and shocks with steeda springs stock and subframe connectors on my other 93 Lx that i sold and it rode way better over bumps over what i have now on the cobra, will the subframe connectors make that much of a ride difference.

the subframe connectors help with ride due to them tying the front and rear frames together so it feels like its on rails instead of twisting and distorting on bumps. ive got the maximum motorsports full length ones they made the ride alot better even with stock suspension.

I've got full length from Blue Oval Industries on eBay. I'm not sure how much of a difference they make since I installed my lowering springs at the same time, but from stock to lowered with SFC it's night and day.

I've got full length mm from Blue Oval Performance in Vancouver. They help keep the car from twisting alot.

I had maximum motor sports on my 03 cobra and loved them and they will make a night and day difference, just make sure you have them welded on and get full length. If a shock tower brace will fit with your motor/shock set up go with that too.

Ive got the kenny brown? ones dont know how much of a diffrence they make tho, they were on it when i got it and my 95 didnt have them. I made a set for the 95 but sold it and gave them to my buddy for his fox. What are you putting them on? I can possibly make you a set like mine? But i dont know how well they will do and i also have battle boxes that i'm fabing up as well. Some have been sold on ebay and havent gotten any bad replies from anyone yet. peace

I have Kenny Brown subframe connectors. If I had the extra money during college, I would have purchased the full length maximum motorsports kit. Those are the best, hands down.

good choice they come pre-bent to fit close to the floor too. You'll like them, suspension is always a good mod. You can have all the power in the world if you cant put it down to the ground its no good.

MM full ength SFC's here..... Brad's welded them in for me. When I picked up the car, I could tell the difference by the way the door closed before I even drove it. Much more stable and solid on the road.....

Thanks for the offer, though I will probably just retain the ones I have. The car is going to have enough cage in it, that I don't think there will be as much need for full-length subs. And yes, I have done upper and lower torque boxes/battle boxes.

I have had 2 sets of Kenny Brown subs on cars and they made a nice difference. But now I bought a car that has the full length Maximum Motorsports on it and I am much more inpressed with them as far as fit and how far they cover the sub frames on both ends.

well couldnt make it to brads on friday but hopefully i can get there soon, im tired of the way this damn car rides with no sub frames, im beginning to think i waisted my money on these bilsteins, maybe i should of went with different springs, are there any other springs out there with some good ride quality, i heard the b springs are nice, i really do not like the way the car sits with the HR springs.
