Finished installing my Moser axles this morning, after a few set backs last night. Its nice to have a little peace of mind that when I slap on the new MT ET Street Radials for the track this year my axles wont snap, lol. My uncle is going to help me weld up my sub frame connectors this afternoon, woohoo!!! My wife will be happy to not have this stuff laying around the apartment anymore :o ...

When you get your subframe connectors welded on and have a chance to try them out, I'll be interested to hear how much difference they made. I have a 2004 GT convertible and have been considering them.

I will definitly keep you informed, I have driven a '01 GT vert that had them done, and I can feel a huge difference between the two cars, you can definitly feel it on a hard launch and going down a windy road. I am really excited to feel it in my own car. I feel like its a great improvement over what is already on the car, especially for the price.

I have subframe connectors on my '99 GT and really made a difference in handling.

finished installing them last night, I haven't been able to drive it much but I have to say I can definitely feel a huge difference in the car, much more rigid. Hopefully the rain will stop and I can go drive it around some more.

Also you will note that you will here more creaking noise from the car as you go around turns, etc. This is normal because the uni-body is more rigid.

Do you have a drive shaft loop yet? If not, that would be the next thing I would have installed. It is not very expensive and easy to install and could save your nuts. LOL.

i have thought about it but don't have one yet. Might pick one up here soon though, definitely sounds like a good idea.
