Subframes or Shifter?

[FallenPhoenix]

Next friday I get my first paycheck for full time, so after I put away enough for this months car payment I've got enough to blow to get the car tinted amd buy either the Steeda full length subframes or a Steeda Tri-ax. I'm kind of leaning towards the Subframes just to get them on and keep the body from sagging down the road.

Which would you get first? And is there anything I should know about the subframe install besides making sure they put it up with the weight on the tires?

Tri-Ax. A shifter is my vote for the first mod ANY 5spd Mustang owner does.

i dont have the SFCs, but i would have to vote for the shifter too. nothing like having the confidence to race and know your not gonna miss 3rd

My vote is for the shifter. It should be one of the first mods you do.

I would get the shifter I just put mine on and it is way better than stock

Shifter if you have just enough money
Subframes if you have a lil excess, b/c I would recommend getting quality full length subframes from Maximum Motorsports or Global West.

I would do the subframes. I have a warped quarter panel on my Mustang due to not putting on subframes right away.

Shifter ASAP.

Less chance of you hurting your transmission while shifting hard. Subframes are great, had them on my 99 and plan to get them again for my 02, but I'd definately do the shifter. Makes it feel like a new car for a few days.

Hard choice... I would have to say a high quality weild in subframe connector... Kenny Brown makes a reallygood set.

But I wouldn't pass up making the shifter your second choice.

I don't have subframes but my TriAx is a difference I can feel every time I drive my car. It brings a smile to my face every time I drive it

Shifter feels nice, but I went 2 years with out it and could honestly stay with the stock shifter just fine. The subframes on the other hand really made a difference in the handling, especially on rough roads. Get the full length subs

I say shifter cause it's something u can do yourself with some simple tools and it only takes an hour or so if it's your first time. Subframes are a little more involved and you're most likely gonna have to pay somebody to do it for you. But both are a must I think on any performance Mustang.

shifter. install yourself. shifter will improve your confidence. IMO if the car is basically stock, you don't really need subframe connectors, unless you competitivly auto cross or do track days.
