Default wich is better for the street?

i want to get some subframes. is it safe to go with standard length, or do i need the full length ones? im not going to be doing any racing or making enough power to actually need them, but i want all the seems to line up on the car when i decide to sell it sometime down the line.

Most people will tell you to get full length, but i have the mid length subframes from UPR and I still noticed a huge difference in handling and even traction with the power my car makes. Its solid and tight the way i want it to be, i honestly didnt notice a diff between the two and saved about 80 bucks.

Full length, don't bother with anything shorter than those. I prefer Maximum Motorsport parts. Make sure you get the weld in set.

I have UPR longs on my car. I installed them myself and love them. Anything is an improvement from stock, but imo longer is better.

If your doors are out of alignment, or your fenders pinch your hood, etc, have the car checked out at a good body shop. It might need a slight frame alignment. Adding a good set of subframe connectors will help KEEP what you have, of course, but if you have a pre-existing problem, they won't solve it.
