    Yes! Subframes and re-enforcement for the torque boxes (both upper and lower) should have been stock, let alone for something making power. The Fox's are a little worse than the new edge cars, but basically the same.

    It's a very noticeable difference, get them welded too.

    X 3. Have Wolfpack weld them in for you. He does nice work.

    No reason not too! I'm sure any shop would know, but make sure they're installed either on a drive on lift or with the car lifted up by tires so they go onto chassis as the car sits on ground, not how a lift holds it.

    If it looks good, you'll see it. If it sounds good, you'll hear it. If it's marketed right, you'll buy it. But if it's real, you'll feel it. IG: @donuttrump

    Anything is better than nothing. I'm not familiar with the BBKs but I'm sure they're fine and if you can have them welded in, do that.
    Like the guys said, make sure its on a drive on lift.

    Yep add them without thinking. Your car will thank you in the long run. If putting any track time/hard launchs to that car then at a minimum have lower and upper torque boxes welded up.

    Also, you will feel a difference just driving the car after getting this done.
    My 250 mile '04 Cobra even felt tighter :)
