Default Who makes the best subframe connectors?

I've been looking at maximum motorsports full length connectors for my vert. The instructions for installation are quite comprehensive and the construction looks strong. Beside MM, who would you guys say has the best subs? I'm leaning toward the MM's because their site is so informative. I want to get these puppies in before I get gears. Thanks in advance...

You cant go wrong with the Maximum connectors. Very well built and are a full length connector. They run from the start of the frame at the firewall all the way to the lower control arm torgue boxes. They kind-of box the area in just infront of the torque boxes too.

I here good things about their control arms, but not so much about their connectors.

I have global west's full length extreme subframes with rocker braces and seat support on my 92 convertible. If I had my time back I would definately have gone with Maximum's full length subs. After seeing both, MM's are a better design and has better fit and finish all around. No doubt about it, go Maximum and you won't regret it.

Maximum has helped me allot, but I would not "promote" anything unless I believe in them. They really take the time to design it right.

Global West was the leader in suspension add-ons for a while, but when Maximum came out with their line...lookout! I have some Global West stuff on mine but plan to change over to MM when funds come in.

I have had experiences with JBA, Central Coast Mustang, Global West, and a few others. By far, the best fit and finish goes to Maximum Motorsports!

The Kenny Brown Extreme Subframes look pretty cool. They have the jacking rails, along with the subframes, connected together with the matrix brace.
