Global West sub frames are a really good brand because they span the entire lenthg of the floor pan and they are made out round roll cage tubing that is stonger than box tubing. The sub frames to stay away from are the kenny Brown units.

1. How much you willing to spend

2. What's the purpose of the car

3. Do you really need super good and pricey subframe connectors? Even those cheaper single beam welded on are good.


If you want I have a set I can give you a deal on and weld on for you.

Playa Price of course. [patriot]
