subframe connector are they worth it
I am looking at buying some SFC for my stang to stop the rattle and squeaks. Are they worth the price? Do I need full length for daily driving and maybe an occasional run at the track?

For a vert, they are a must. For a hardtop, they are a must if you are or plan on serious added power. You need full lengths for a roll cage I believe too. For a near stock hardtop, they will make the car feel new longer by keeping it tighter.

The mustang does not have a frame. It is uni-body construction...like most cars. SFC attache the front of the car to the back of the car rigidly and add stiffness to the car. stock GT's have cheap crappy SFC on them from the factory. I took them off and have Steeda ones I bought at MT.

Another Q...will new subframe connectors provide a good jacking point on the side of the car, or should I still use the jack locations, and also, when installed, you have to remove the interior correct?

Ya, I'm definitely going to get some MM full length SFC. When you get them welded in make sure the car has its weight on the wheels because if the car is hanging the unibody might be in a weird position and once the welds are done you'd be in trouble!

They seem very tempting...

They should only take about an hour to weld in so see what kind of rate you can get. Make 100% sure when you get them welded in that they use a drive lift, not the kind that lift your car from the four points. It can seriously mess stuff up!
