SUBFRAMES CONNECTORS-$99.99 Installed!
1979-2004 Ford Mustangs
If you don't have subframes you gotta get them! You won't believe how much this upgrade will change how your car feels and drives! No more creaking from the chasis! Also available uninstalled for only $59.99!
These subframes are made especially for Apex Motorsports and are IDENTICAL to the ones in the Ford Motorsport 2005 catalog and are VERY similar to the Maximum Motorsports units. They are made in the USA..NOT import/ China junk. They come bare metal and are available in black or red power coated finish. When finished installing the bare metal units are painted to prevent rusting.
All subframes performed by Apex are WELDED in.. NOT bolted for maximum chasis bracing. You never want to just bolt them on.
If you are interested in having the subframes installed please contact Mario Sousa at 408/588-0075 or info@apexmotorsports.com. You can also drop by the shop to schedule a appointment also.

Are the Sub frames Maximum Motorsports? Are they coated or bare metal?
Do you bolt them or weld them?
What is the difference between full and standard length?
What kind do I need on my 92 convertible?
thanks
Gus

These subframes are made especially for Apex Motorsports and are IDENTICAL to the ones in the Ford Motorsport 2005 catalog. They are made in the USA..NOT import/ China junk. If you want MM instead we can do those for $140 installed. The Apex subframes are as good as the MM ones. They come bare metal and are available in black or red power coated finish. When finished installing the bare metal units are painted to prevent rusting.
All subframes performed by Apex are WELDED in.. NOT bolted for maximum chasis bracing. You never want to just bolt them on.
The difference between full length and standard subframes are the level of chasis bracing. The full length units provide much more chasis stiffening and do costs more to install... the price is $230 installed for full length units.
All our subframes do fit convertible also BUT we must have another hour of so of installion. Because Ford added some chasis bracing we must modify the subframes so they fit properly. For any Vert install, regardless of make of subframe, we must charge an additional $80.
If you are interested in having the subframes installed please contact Mario Sousa at 408/588-0075 or info@apexmotorsports.com. You can also drop by the shop to schedule a appointment also.

The full lengths costs more installed because of a few factors.
#1-They costs us much more than standard subframes
#2-They take ALOT longer to install.

Griggs and Maximum "STANDARD" subframes are pretty much the same.. BUT Griggs World Challenge Frame kit is the BEST chasis bracing availale for the Mustang ANYWHERE! It will stiffen up your chasis up to 1500%! In fact there is a picture of a car sitting on it's trunk and tilted at a 45 degree angle with almost no flex to the chasis! I will see if I can find that picture for you guys. My personal opinion is Griggs makes the best Subframes when you consider stiffness and weight. There are some subframes out there which will stiffen your chasis pretty good BUT will add WAY too much weight to the car. Don't ever let anyone tell you "Power to weight ratio" does not matter.. it DOES ALOT...

Here's a pic of the griggs frame kit for all who are interested. Interior comes out to do this. At least 8 hours work to install it.
