Sub Frame Connectors

TwiLighTBluEGT · 08-06-2002, 05:59 PM

What are the best brand of sub frame connectors for a 91GT Conv that you can buy?

GodStang · 08-06-2002, 06:42 PM

I think Steeda and Kenny brown Sub frames are both good.

I have Global-West (tubular) subframe connectors.

Excellent quality and recommended, but in fact, there are many good brands around, including KB.

I have the same question for a 95 GT. I don't see why it would be different so I'm just gonna go with the recommendations in here, thanks guys.

I hear Maximum Motorsports make full length subframes and they are supposed to be really good.

I've got the MM full length subs with seat braces. If I got another stang, I'd buy the same ones again without a doubt. But as mentioned before, there are many good brands out there. I mean really, think about it.....How hard can it be to make good subframe connectors? It's just metal that connects two other pieces of metal with two slight bends in them...

There not hard to make. I made my own, and I'm an idiot!

I had those same subframes put on this summer and they are great. I would get them again too.

The only problem you might run into is installation might be more expensive, since these come with more parts to weld up. The shop that did mine charged $150. It took two guys, two hours, so actually that price isn't too bad. He normally charges around $75 to install standard length subframes.

I'll put in a plug for the MM full length connectors. I have their Road & Track kit on my 91 vert. and it amazes me every time I drive my car.

There's much more welding room on the MM pieces as opposed to tubular-style connectors because these sit flush against the entire frame rail. While some might consider it overkill, the vert. needs all the support it can get in the "chassis-stiffening" department, so I welded those bad boys in everywhere it touched the chassis.

Installation is more complicated on a vert. tho with the full length connectors because you need to clearance the factory stiffening braces. When you do it, I would recommend keeping the factory braces and just grinding the flanges down where it interferes with the connector.

Any full length connector will get the job done for you, I only push for the MM products because they rock! Everything they produce is well-engineered, fits perfectly, and is thoroughly supported... if you decide to go with MM, ask for John Fabry when placing your order, he'll hook you up.

The MM braces are about the best, but I went one step better. Tear out your interior and bring it to a chassis shop. Have them cut the floor and install 2x3 steel right onto your subframe. It creates a solid frame that follows the path that the real frame would (if it had one). They can weld in seat braces too. It cost me $195 to have that done. That was material and labor.

TwiLighTBluEGT where abouts in MA are you? The shop I use is in Hanson, called Tube Chassis Designz. They have been written up in all kinds of magazines for their work.
