Right way to mount subframe connectors?

DeltaMustang65 · 09-22-2006, 05:39 PM

Would I need them if I'm only planning on 300hp at the wheels at the most? Are they simply a good idea structurally even if I'm not planning on racing the car? I'm still murky on at what performance level these should be installed on a '60s mustang.

I have them on mine and for a long time was not even close to 300 horsepower. I would put them on any old Mustang that I own period, especially if I ever planned on modifying it at all.

I guess all I need is to find a good shop to do the welding then. Not an easy task in Stockton.

Is the square tubing really more rigid than tubular? I found it a little odd that the square tubing is cheaper. Is tubular harder to spot once it's on the car?
