I was looking to install a set of subframe connectors on my 66 coupe soon. I debating which brand to buy. I was looking at the tcp and global west units. Any recommendations? diff brands?

Id reccomend Total control products set. You can view them at www.Totalcontrolproducts.com You can buy them at www.mustangsplus.com They make the best if they make it...there a great company...but a little expensive! Good luck...and get the x-cage.

I installed the TCP units on mine ( had some one weld them in for me ) and they are very stout, and well constructed, I highly recommend them.

Thanks for the good info. I think im gonna go with the TCP subframes and possibly the cross brace. Anyone out there running the TCP crossbrace on a lowered mustang? Hows the ground clearance? My car is lowered about 1.5-2 inches and it already loves to scrape headers on speed bumps.

I kinda wish I bought ones ready to bolt or weld in. I made my own for the Cougar. I needed new floors so I thought it would be a good time to add sub frame connectors. Here a picture. It follows the frame rails, it doesnt hang down at all and looks pretty much stock. I dont have a recent pic but this is the idea of it. I will take more after I finish the floor pan if the weather ever warms up.

I am running the TCP subs with the crossbrace on my Cougar. The car is lowered about 1-1.5". The header flanges are 4.5" the crossbrace is about 6" at the lowest spot. You probably won't have a problem. Their subs are a very good design, I could not believe how stiff the car is just backing out of the driveway.

TCP parts are very high quality, I also have their R&P, wow what a difference.

I bought the Maier racing [www.maierracing.com] subframe connectors for my 65 coupe. To my knowledge Maier doesnt offer that cross brace deal that GW and TCP do but I was still very happy with their product and how much of a difference it made in the feel and handling of my car, it really makes a big difference. As for clearance, Maier's connectors dont stick down any further than the original subframe boxes, I can only assume that GW's and TCP's are similar.
