Do the subframes without seat supports lack that much compared to the one's with seat supports? I'd imagine they'd tighten it up a little bit more... but not thaaat much... what do you think?

i would think it would feel tighter, but I've only had experience without seat supports. Curious about what other people say as well.

mustangs have a weak spot there at the rear bolt on the seats. The floor pans are pretty chincy there. I suppost seat supportd connectors are more for the holding of the seats in the rear. Just more of a bonus over the regular sub frame conn. Im gettin some asap for my 85gt.

Like joeelliot said, the mustangs weak spots are under the seats. It is very, very common for the seats to bust through the floorpan. You'd be crazy to buy subframe connectors WITHOUT the seat supports. Waste of $ imo.
