Personally all my Mustangs Have and will have MM subframes. Nothing negative to say about Meier just always use MM.

Ive always run global west sub-frame connectors, personal preference I like the tubular style no complaints here. Cant go wrong with what you choose, something is better then nothing.

I'd take a look at the Steeda ones also, nicely made and they come with torque box reinforcement plates.

Mine say advanced suspension technology but look exactly like globa west. Their tubular, and there design makes more sense compared to just a straight piece of straight metal. They got my vote

Maier over MM. Maier's subframes are about the same price, all tubular, have 4 mounting points over MM's 2 mounting points, and have been tested to be over 50% stronger than MM in their strength tests.. and Mike is a cool, down to earth dude that's willing to help out or answer any questions you may have.

Thanks for the info guys. I'll definitely talk to Maier.
MM has their installation instructions on their site which show several welded connections. The Maier connectors look to be bolt on and reference tying the connectors to a cage (not really interested in a cage, but who knows); also not sure if theirs are also weld on; so i'll check with them as well.
I like that he's local and also carries MM stuff, so should be good either way.

If you dont want to do thru floor subframe connectors, I would do Maier or Global West, you will really love the Maier connectors if you are really low and want to protect your exhaust when going over speed bumps.

They are not bolt on. I thought the same thing, but that's where you weld. Talk to Mike, I'm sure he wouldn't mind walking you through it.
