Well this won't help you but I have a few questions for ya. How do like the kenny brown bracing? Does it help a lot. I've been considering this. Also do you have anytimes with the heads and intake. I just got mine together a few weeks back and can't wait to hit the track. Just wanted to know what kind of times you're running. Thanks!

Sorry but, skip the KB subs if you want quality.I speak from experiece.I had KB subs with extreme matrix bracing until I put a floor jack under the middle of the car and they bent.After that I had the KB stuff cut off and Global West full length competieion subs with ladder bars and seat bolt bracing welded on.The GW subs are near the same price and are much stronger, you will be able to put a jack under anywhere along the subframe.The kenny brown subs arnt full length, and the wall thickness is very thin.The shape doesnt help either.GW subs are full lenght roll bar material with a 125 wall thickness.I give KB credit for one thing though; they advertise very well, hell, they suckered me in, hehe.

By the way, in my opinion GW makes the best suspension on the market.GW suspension will give you the results you would expect from a Griggs setup.GW is fairly cheap, easily installed, has good ride quality, doesnt have ground clearance issues (like with Griggs), and can be bought one thing at a time. If done correctly, GW suspension can pull one G on street tires.But most importantly DONT MIX N MATCH when using GW suspension.GW is very picky and the parts are designed to work with one another.
