Question Best Sub Frames

I wanted to know what everyone's thoughts are on the best weld in sub frame for the money. Also, have you ever heard of chrome molly sub frame's ? How good are they, and are they worth it ?

well I had Kenny Brown's on my 00' Stang and they kicked ***...
But I found some on ebay for my 94Z, from HotPart.com they had a sale going for 140.00 (you just gotta keep an eye out) They came in the mail yesterday and I was stoked! They're big! They mount in 3 points and the outer rail doubles as a jacking rail... so for my money that was a damn good deal!

Tubular = poosy subframes


Dude it really depends on what you want to do. If your gonna auto-x then get the kenny brown ones cause they are like FULL OUT sub frames. If your gonna drag race then get yourself some BMR boxed sub frames

I plan on being at the track alot and driving the car only a little on the street so I guess the BMR boxed are the way to go.

Will boxed subframes cause clearance issues with a lowered car?

Check out the appearance section... I just put a thread up with pics of my painted kbdds.

edit: heres the thread: http://www.camaross.com/forums/showt...hreadid=230639

edit again...: Id also like to mention that you lose very little clearance with kbdd's. I almost had to have the camera on the ground to see them from the side of the car.

InjectedSS is right!

The BMR Boxed are a great deal and they seem to perform and hold up excellent from the feedback i've heard!

Good Luck.
