    What brand Brooks, I can get a hell of a deal on the UPR unit (I can actually get the full length subframe connectors and the ARB shipped to me for less then the price of the single ARB from Wolfe...).

    I am sure I am sound like a broke d, but as this project goes on things keep getting added to the list and I have yet to really even touch the motor.

      UPR is cheap Chinese knockoff shit. A lot of their products look identical to designs from other companies but I would question the quality of the materials and workmanship. I wouldn't skimp on the chassis or suspension.

        Ok to get the subs from UPR, but I'd get the ARB from Wolfe.

          The one I speak of was Wolfe, it was a double.

            i just installed latemodels subframes in my coupe. i made up some tabs to weld the driveshaft loop to the subframe connectors to make a big "h". this has totally changed my car. i know im not making any insane hp but the difference is very noticable. just as a note i had a tubular subframe connector laying around (dunno what brand) and lrs's were approx 7" longer

                  Baseline Suspensions has a nice ARB and fairly cheap on price.

                  Do full length subframes for sure. My current coupe has a full cage, but only the short subframe connectors. I wish it had the full lengths on it, but at this point I don't want to add the weight.

                    Okay, I can get the Maximum Motorsports and the UPR full length subframes for the same price. Which would you guys recommend?
