FMS. Driveshaft or Suspension.....
Well since I ended up having to cancel the order for the driveshaft, I got to thinking that maybe I don't need it right now. I am looking at upgrading my suspension and body and thought about Maximum Motorsports stuff. I am looking at their Chassis Brace Package which consists of podercoated strut tower brace, powdercoated 4-point K brace, and standard length subframe connectors for $227. Would it be better to have the full length subframe connectors for $277, or is standard enough? Or should I just stay with the driveshaft and loop? I am going crazy here trying to decide. Any help would be great!

I replied to the other post, but i forgot to mention, it makes a noise sometimes, i think 'sometimes' when i go around a corner and get on it, it hits the floor or something, but thats prolly because i need suspension But it's still lighter, and stronger, but a bigger diameter...ok i'll shut muh trap he...he...

Do you think that I would be better off getting the D/S or waiting on it and stiffening up the chassis some? I just got to thinking though that the D/S would be kind of pointless right now since I'm not really putting all that much power to the ground.

The Maximum Motorsports parts are some of the best and there Tech support is pretty good. I went with the full length subframe connectors, caster camber plates, adj rear control arms. This made the car hookup and handle a lot better.

Looks like once I can get a new credit card to replace the stolen ones I will be ordering the chassis brace package. Now the only question is, full length subframe connectors or just the standard length. Is there really much of a difference between the 2?
