[QUOTE="Martin6107, post: 15865245, member: 157524"] It seems that most of the folks that have installed subframes are glad that they did. Like everything else, results are dependent on the quality of work done. I'd love to see some data on what the bracing actually does, though. Seat of the pants feel will improve for sure with subframes connecting to the seat bolts. But for a weekend cruiser I am just not sure. This is the article I was thinking about in my previous post [URL]http://www.mustangandfords.com/how-to/chassis-suspension/mmfp-0909-why-subframe-connectors-benefit-your-mustang/[/URL] The test subject is an 03 Cobra, which is different than my 96, but their conclusion was interesting ... [I]Back in the garage, we repeated our chassis stresses and measurements for the "after subframe connectors" portion of the test. Surprisingly, the subframe connectors made little difference in our bending and twist measurements-the results were not significant and well within a reasonable margin of error [/I] [I][/I] I think this means that subframes may be the right way to go for some objectives, but I am not clear exactly what that objective might be.
