Getting a STB and Subframe Connectors...

[90_IROC]

Is there a brand that stands out as "the best" or are they all pretty similar???
i know u get wut u pay for in most cases, but im not made of money, im on a very tight budget, but i also dont wanna do anything really "half-assed", im looking for a brand that is the best of both worlds.
If u r running either of these, let me know wut kind u have and wut u think of them, thanx.

Mac Subframe connectors were like $260 from mopac
if you get them, do you wanna see if you can get a better deal if you get 2 sets
those are the ones I plan on getting

Mike runs the Mac 1's he has nothin but good things to say about them,

[90_IROC]

your sub frame connectors will be different then mine wont they??? i thought the convertable's had sumthing different about the sub frames ??? either way, ill look into that though.

any suggestions on STB??? it seems a lot of ppl are either using the edelbrock or the hotchkis :-\

[89vert]

the mac ones are for vert or t-top or coupe
stb go BMR ;),

[89vert]

the hotchkis one has flex points,
I would think solid would be better

[93formula]

hotchkis, edelbrock, bmr are all fine for stb's and sfc's

edelbrock makes sfc's????? :-\

[93formula]

i dunno bout the sfc, but they make the stb's and ta's. but im told hotchkis makes all of the edelbrock suspension.

Increase the rigidity of your front subframe assembly by tying the two strut mounts together with a BMR strut brace. Available in 2 or 3 point designs, these braces feature strong, 1/4" mounting plates and 1.25" diameter tubing. All mounting plates and center logo plate are precision laser cut. 3 point braces have strong, clevis mounted ends instead of the "pinched tubing" designs offered by other competitors. All mounting hardware and instructions included. Available standard in your color choice of red or black powdercoat, additional colors also available by special order.

actually bmr stuff is junk, the only thing id trust from them is the stb and sfc, surely they cant mess up a piece of pipe. lots of guys that autocross loathe the bmr stuff. for anything other then stb and sfc DO NOT go with bmr.

[90_IROC]

that BMR stb looks SEXY!!! 8) i want one... and i have talked to a few other ppli know and they say MAC is awesome too, SCORE!!!

[90_IROC]

finally had time to go price out these parts at lordco today.... the best deal i was told, was $380 for comp engineering sfc's and $180 for edelbrock STB...... where else can i go to get a better deal on these???

(they told me that it wouldn't be worth it to order through lordco to get the MAC sfc's or the BMR STB)

this should be givin info. Best Buy! or if not mopac ;)

[90_IROC]

which place is closest to Maple Ridge though??? i dont wanna have to drive too far.

[93formula]

theres a best buy in surrey, burnaby, and abbotsford. there may be others that im not aware of. but a sfc is a sfc, there all pretty much the same. but theres a guy on here that will build you a custom set for under 200 cdn installed. i doubt you can beat that price anywhere. pm 10secrt. ask him he may able to build you a stb too.

[3.4ltr huntin]

go to best buy and get them to bring a set of spohn sfcs for ya shipped was like 300 bucks.


best sfcs out there imho

[89vert]

mopac $260 for mac sfc, includes taxes and shiping
theres mopac in surrey and vancouver

[90_IROC]

looks like abbotsford is the closest to me.... ill try best buy tomorrow and see where that takes me... if cant get a good, then ill try talking to that dude that custom makes them :)
thanx

[89vert]

I don't like the spohn they weld to the floor pan
which is kind of useless imo

[90_IROC]

i heard spohn made great stuff... until someone told me about their sfc's which is totally GAY!
