they're straight, and you would want to make sure you get some tubing with thick walls. I plan on making my own and actually bracing them together. You would also want to make sure you get about the right length.

i have the BBK's welded on and they make a nice difference in many areas, launching, ride quality, etc. I can put a jack behind the front wheel and pick up the entire side of the car

The MM subframes do have a bend in them as well as a bracket that screws into the seat bolts. They are the best bang for the buck if you ask me. It will make the entire car feel stiffer and handle better. You can make your own if you are good with metal, but the MM subs will make the job a lot easier. It should be the first mod for these cars.

Subframes are the best bang for the buck suspension mod. just be sure to get full length ones. I run the Steeda ones and I was happy with the quality and fitment, plus they help strenghten the torque boxes

thats because not many are smart enough to see that these cars cant put the HP they have to the ground stock, not even the NPI's so they skip suspension which should really be done before any engine mods. I guess people really dont like tires.

PS thanks for serving

I have the XL Subframe connectors, and I did notice a big improvement over stock.
