Default Global West Subframes

I've been researching subframes, and I've decided to go with GW. Anyone know the best place to order these (best price). Also if anyone has any complaints about these or suggestions on other brands please chime in.

I've had the GW's almost since my car was new (about 4 years now) and have no bad things to say about them except for maybe that the fit on the driver's side wasn't perfect (pass. side was) so it required a little massaging. With tolerances on these cars, though, I would imagine fitment will vary. They are relatively lightweight, tuck up very nicely, and use large diameter tubing. I imagine that due to the 2-pt design they give up a bit of stiffness in comparison to the double-diamond designs, but they also stay out of the way of exhaust and don't affect ground clearance. I'm very happy with mine.

I got mine from Thunder Racing back when, but really couldn't tell you who has the absolute best price.
