Subframe Connectors?

Cole's 1987 GT · Jul 1, 2014

How important are they? I have seen lots of people say they are one of the first things you should do. But I was curious how worried about them I should be my only mods are cold air intake and headers and a flowmaster cat back system. Thanks

They make a big difference in chassis flex, it will feel like a different car. Weld them in or have someone weld them in for you. I've seen on by buddies car what can happen when the bolt-ins get stressed

everyone here seems to like the maximum motorsports SFC, but the closest thing they have available on summit appears to be the steeda. Does anyone know if these are any good?

They are probably the single most important modification you could do, along with torque box reinforcements.

The Steeda ones will be fine.

As long as they're full length and a weld in design, pretty much any manufacturer will work. Getting a set with cross bracing across the bottom of the seats will increase strength across the floor pan further still.

I too am running the Maximum Motorsports full length connectors and they're just peachy.

+100 for full length SFC's unpainted (paint them after you weld them in)

MM full length subs. Spend the extra $40 and do it right the first time. I have run them on every Fox Body I've owned.

You need them... That is all, lol.

As the others have stated I agree that it is a much warranted modification

I'm a huge Steeda fan, but here is the dirty little secret, they are all about the same. Installation is far more important than the quality of the SFC. There are plenty of testimonials that say the $40 set on CJ pony parts work just as well. The most important thing is that they are welded in on a drive on lift. If the installer does it on a two post lift, the car will flex, and you will end up with a car that was welded crooked. I have Steeda ones myself with the cross beams that are bolted to the seat studs.

Wise choice. After you are done with the install, spray some black rustoleum or other rust inhibitor paint on them- especially the weld points.

They make new pistons every day, so why worry?

Apparently my ex-husband made that mistake.
