I recomend Maximum Motorsports Full Length Subframes. They are subframes not just connecters. They go from the firewall to the tq boxes and have other supports that go between the rear subframe and the tq boxes.

No, you shouldn't. The subframes are thick steel which only hang down about half and inch, and the other reinforcemts tuck in the chassis, so no clearance problems there.

Use second gear...more revolutions of the tire...don't have to sit there as long...

My friend had slicks on and backed up into the "waterbox" and didn't burnem off enough through first gear and went a blistering 2.7 60 ft...

Its easier to stay in first,let them spin at 5 grand for 5-7 seconds!!

373's or steeper...second gear burnout best...for most combos of any sort
355's...first or second...
327's or lower...probably need to go first gear...

I know my friend that did that 2.7 60ft... ...went back and did a second gear nice rolling burnout and got a 1.8x 60ft...full weight, lowered gt but otherwise stock suspension...

I second the Maximum Motorsports setup. I have them and other items and I really like the quality and fit.
Good Luck!

I've got the MM SFCs, but they're not installed yet, unfortunately.

I'm waiting for the nasty weather to clear up a bit before I run the car down to the shop to have them welded on!

90lxcoupe · Feb 10, 2004

ive also got the MM full length subframes and to me they are the best quality subframes on the market

87gtconv · Feb 10, 2004

I have Kenny Brown's but they are not really heavy duty, but they sure make my ragtop solid!!

Do you guys know anything about the cheap subframes on ebay? Here's a link:

Do you think they'd work right?
