Just finally got around to getting my MM full length subframes installed. I didnt really get to test it out on the way home, but i could tell that it felt more solid just driving down the road. I will see how it feels as soon as I can go get loose on some turns. I cant wait until next weekend because thats when I almost finish my suspension when I install the MM torque arm & rear coilovers. All thats left is the K member, A arms & a better rear sway bar & then Im set in the suspension dept.

Heres a few pics, but they dont show much...The welds dont look that pretty, but they get the job done....

No, but I will be doing the lowers soon. My upper torque boxes are no longer gonna be used because Im installing a torque arm which converts it to a 3 link setup & it mounts differently.

You will be amazed at the difference the torque arm makes. It completely transforms the handling of these cars.

I wanted to go bad, but my car wasnt ready yet. Just got the subframes in yesterday. I do notice a difference, but i really havent got to push it yet. Once i get the torque arm & rear coilovers installed, i will be ready to corner carve with the IRS Cobras. I will definately be there next time.
