Never heard of them.

I have the Global-West subs on my Mustang. Many members of MW like the the Kenny Brown subframe connectors.

I would avoid no-name manufacturers (of anything) just to save fifty bucks or so. Although a few folks do find some real bargains, many of our members also come back with sad stories of shoddy parts and bad service from these no-name, 'bargain' manufacturers.

Stick with reputable, proven products when you can. Less grief that way.

I made my subframe connectors. They are made of 1 x 2 tubing with two pieces of 14 gauge steel wrapped around each end. I welded them in place. So I would say that any of them are good as long as they bolted good or welded good. Mine have been in place for a year and a half.

I had a set of cgs-chassis subframes put on my 1987 convertible. Seemed to be of descent quality. Got the run-around from Global-West for about three weeks before finally canceling my order. Service was awful and they lie about having product available.

gasman how long ago did you get them and did you find them on ebay also did you do the install yourself

chatcher, I got them directly from cgschassis. I would have installed them my-self if I had a mig-wielder. I had Meineke install them for 100 dollars. CGS said they would be no required modifications for my Convertible, they were wrong. I had to remove two riveted plates from the rear torque box to driprail. Which took me a hole 15min with a sawz-all. I personally think they were still worth the money.
