Default subframe connectors?

believe it or not i have yet to put some subframes on my coupe. any hands on experience or stories about subs that you have used?

i hear steedas full length subs are the way to go. - Full-Length Subframe Connectors - '79-'04 Ford Mustang

these also dont look bad- eBay Motors: 79-93 Ford Mustang 5.0L Full Length Subframe Connectors (item 130166108671 end time Nov-01-07 07:26:26 PDT)

should i go tubular or boxed? pro's & con's?

Steeda's full length or through floor. Only boxed, since your frame is boxed tubular won't do much good, not enough welding surface to connect the frame. Mine had tubulars on when I bought it, switched to steeda's and it's night and day. Going from none to steedas will really impress you

You also normally get better ground clearance with the boxed.

Maximum Motorsports is what i would use.
