What kind of subframe connectors is everyone here using? Are you happy with your choice. Did any of you notice any less rattling in your car after you installed them?
I'm looking to get some within the next month and would like to know what everyone reccomends. Thanks

I'm looking also - from what I've been told, they make your car feel a little "shorter" in length when driving it - which I would imagine is a real good thing.

I went with Maximum Motorsports (they're in SLO) full-length subframes.
I am told the only thing better is Griggs, which go through the floorpan. Either work best when nailed up to a cage/roll bar.
Something is better than nothing, but even so I'd personally avoid the "bolt-on" types sans welded.

I have the griggs and I like them a lot. Everything tightened up nicely with no rattles. And the doors close better too.

I went with some parts from Kenny Brown. I like the suframe conectors alot. Since my car is a convertible I get alot of flex and the ones that I got helped alot. Before the install the car would creek alot when pulling into driveways or slanted surfaces but now it is quiet and tighter.

the decision seems to be Maximum Motorsports or Kenny Brown both of which are pretty good from what I hear
