I was recently reading one of the threads talking about subframe connectors helping from twisting the body. I never realized a miledly modded car would have to worry about this? Either way I am going to get some so I was thinking about either getting the Steeda full length subframe connectors or the Maximum Motorsports one's. Both are about the same price, which do you guys think would be the best? Or if there is another brand that is better please post a link to them.

I use Global West subframe connectors. They're tubular in design and I noticed the difference in turning and ride quality right away.

I have MM. However, just about any of the weld-in style subframe connectors are going to be good. Don't get the bolt-in style.

I got MM and love them. Could not tell how much they helped since I also did all my shock, struts, sway bars and springs at the same time.

Looks like I am going MM soon. Is $140 with free shipping a good price for them?

Those are excellent tri-ladder subframe connectors. I should have gone with the tri-ladders. They make much more of a difference then just a big bar of a connector.

You honestly don't need something like that, nor do you want that much more added weight over a regular full length SFC. Jacking rails? What a gimmick lol.

K Brown is now a dead company, BTW.

I'm eventually going to work up to the Matrix system.

I've done just subframes, it's a world of difference

I had the Steeda SFC's on my 96.
I really liked them and they worked great too.

I have the steeda's. They are great, but I kind of wish I had gone with MM because I hear they are a little better.
