Mines arriving today for sure. Getting hand delivered by the vendor out here. Where's everyone going to get theres installed?? I've heard muffler shops like meineke do a fair job. Any suggestions?

I got mine installed today and the finish is beautiful. I'm not so impressed with the fit. This is my first experience with sub frame connectors, but I think they should have fit up under the car a little tighter. I haven't picked the car up yet so I don't know what it has done for the ride, but anything will be an improvement over the cowl shake I was experiencing. I know why after seeing the factory subs, what a joke. I can't believe Ford didn't do a better job in this area.

You mean to tell me that these subs are almost 300 dollars better than the MMs (149/set)?

Unbelievable.....Like I said in my earlier post, I don't have any experience with subs, but the car drives like a completely different car now. I was intentionally driving through ruts and manhole recesses in the road and this thing feels solid. I swear it spins the tires easier. Very solid and well worth the investment in my opinion.

Fitment on these subframes is excellent - make sure the shop that puts them on has a lift that lifts the car by the tires so you have the proper load on the car. A full tank of gas doesn't hurt either.

These are the best and clearly worth the extra $$. For all you folks in Southern Cali, give Danny a call at Cannon's muffler shop in La Habra - these guys do first rate installs with these subframes, and they've done many of them.

Put these on and kiss chassis flex goodbye - and the stock mustang chassis flexes more than you can imagine -

Mint

LOL! After 24 years of marriage, HARD & STIFF won't do it, but the promise of jewelry will!

Placed my order this morning.

Was really wondering if I needed something that beefy, but screw it...I wanna keep my car from self-destructing. Nothing I hate more than the rattles and vibrations that form over a couple years, from a flexing chassis. With these, I dont think I'll have to worry about if I have stiff enough subframes or not. Hehe.

Ordered mine, was planning on going with Global West a while back but a GP never seemed to get off the ground. These look good but sure are pricey, then again so are Global west.

I just weighed these at 23 pounds each plus another 3 1/2 pounds for the braces and hardware; scaring the sh-t out of 50 pounds.

I am also adding a KB front strut tower brace for another 9 pounds, and KB c/c plates for yet another 5 (less what comes off the car).

I had e-mailed Hansracecraft asking for the weight of the SFC's, and their reply was 36-38 pounds and they stressed "approximate". Go figure! I don't really mind, as I wanted the structural rigidity to keep the car as tight as possible for as long as possible.
