SFC's ?
When it comes to sub frame connectors, does it really matter what brand? I know to get full length ones, but are they all relatively the same? I was looking at just ordering some of the americanmuscle ones.

From the picture it seems like it doesn't included the reinforcements for the seat brackets. If you plan to hit the clutch hard, it is a good idea to get ones with it (this was a problem that plaqued the fox-bodies that served w/ the police force since the fat cops hit the clutch too hard screwing up the seat brackets).

I wonder if americanmuscle just isn't showing everything included with them. I don't see a point in spending more money for something because of the name if it's made out of the same thing.

having used just about all of them I have developed a favorite. Griggs are my usual choice, after them MM, then I start making my way through the rest as fall back plans.
A good breakdown of my thoughts would be: 1, full length are ok but not really required and sometimes more trouble than they're worth. 2, as long as it's .080-.120 wall steel and your welder knows what he's doing you should be ok. Thinner .06x stuff isn't robust enough IMO and won't support mods like torque arms. Griggs are the easiest to weld out of the box and have required the least dikkin' with to get lined up right for me so they're my faves. Follow rule 2 and you really can't go wrong. |

Of course you had to go and pick the brand american muscle doesn't carry. I'm trying to use this damn $50 gift certificate I have for them without having to spend a lot of money.

boxed steel subframes all mostly the same look at them. Untill you get to the more hardcore ones a simple set like 80buck ones they have are fine. I just go them in yesterday part of my birthday gift from my dad that came really late.
