Subframe Connectors

+1 for the GW ones. They are at the same height as your front frame extensions that they weld to, just extend it backwards. At the rear, they arc up a bit to grab the rear frame. I'm sure your exhaust will be lower than these.
I tend to believe that ANY frame connector is worth it, and that sweating over which brand to go with is nit-picking (except for the ones that hack up the floor). But with that said, I did nit-pick too, and went with the GW after research.

Edit- if you look at my sig picture, you can just see the rear of the connector by the rear wheel. In the front, my exhaust is slightly lower than the connectors. My car is lowered 1-1/2 all around.

I have the TCP's with the cross brace. Very nice. I don't think you could go wrong with either of them.

I have Competition Engineering ones on my car. They are the cheapest and probably provide the most clearance on all Sub Frame connectors. I got the “Bolt In” ones and also had them welded in..

I have the CE brand as well. They attach easily and give you an option to weld or not after trying them with the other components you have. They also made a hugh difference.

I also have the CE's and also noticed a great improvement in handling after installation. They have excellent ground clearance. As recommended by the seller, I bought the bolt-on ones and then welded them on. The bolt-ons have additional material connected to the subframes.

If I was building a road racer, then I might have considered the more expensive options.

I have the TCP with the cross brace as well the're very nice, although the car has no motor i have jacked it up and had it come of three of the four jack stands. And all of the TCP stuff i have i very high quality.

I have Total Control subframe connectors on my '68, but probably the best design I've seen was custom done by my friend Håkan on his '67.

They blend in between the front and rear frame extensions to look like one continuous frame rail. They are the same thickness as the original frame rails, so they do not hang down like everyone else's sub frame connectors.

I have the Maier ones and they fit very well

I took those pics in July ´04 at Mustangmania in Katy.

Thanks ultrastang!

I have TCP welded and they have worked well.....

the coolest ones i've seen are from Spin Tech. they weld to the floor pan and continue the front subframe all the way to the back. they aren't like a normal SFC and ground clearance with them is excellent. Mustang Depot has them, here's a link, they are all the way down at the bottom

Just to be clear, Mustangmania is a company in Katy, Texas where I took the pics.

"ultrastang" is my friend Steve Ainsworth in Arkansas with his Ultrastang Performance who made the comment about the subframe connectors I´ve made.

Has anyone got those sfc's from spintech or seen them on a car. They look like a great way to go to keep clearence but how sturdy are they compared to the other top brands?

oh ok...thanks!!

I don't know about you guys but that SFC/stiffener setup from Heidt's in the Mustang Depot link is really cool. That would be a nice foundation for a cage, just tie it to the weld in SFC's, and the bolt-in stiffener would square off the base.
