Ok i know this is going to be mostly matter of opinion for most people but i want to get as many opinions as possible. I am looking at getting subframe connectors for my 95 when i get back from Iraq. I have been looking at either maximum motorsports or Steeda. The price difference is only $30 more for the Steeda at $150 and the MM are only $120. I realize that either is going to be a huge improvement over not having them, but does anyone have opinions on these or another nice set up that i dont have up here. Ive tried to search and the rest seem really expensive or just tubular ones that weld on at each end and thats it, which i dont think i like. I think i am leanign toward MM because i like their products (getting their CC plates) and they are $30 bucks cheaper.

I need to stop looking at car parts online on my free time out here. My shopping list is about $2000 right now for when i get back :D I like deployment paychecks :marc:

I use the Kenny Brown Subframes ... they are weld in and bolt in combined .... they have the T's that bolt to the bottom of the Seat Bolts ... way much durability and way less body flex .... Mine are bolted and Welded in place .... Solid Launches with no body flex anymore .... :):)

some people still have a few sets of the Kenny brown ones in stock, but you have to search for them. There was a guy that bought all of the jigs from kenny brown and started a new company call weapon x. Not sure on their quality. I would contact Marc at UPR personally and get the ones they sell if you are trying to get regular connectors. I have BBK bolt on sub-connectors that are bolted in and the welded.

MM FULL length subframes are what I have on all my verts and they have been great.

he did pass away recently. I'll see if I can find the info on the guy that bought everything if you really have to have those. I would contact any of our vendors, UPR, LMR or MMP. They can all hook you up with several different manufactures

Which ever you get, get the full length that require welding.

Mine are Kenny Brown, welded on. I seriously doubt there is a huge difference. If you were handy you could make your own. I'll link you to a write up if you're interested.

I was just starting to learn how to weld before i left but i was still practicing with scrap metal and angle iron so im not ready to do anything to my car yet. Ill just have a buddy weld em up for me. And yes i was only looking for full length ones. Thanks for all the advice everyone. :mick:
