Default Subframes installed!

I got my subframes installed about 2 hrs. ago and it did a lot of stiffening up that I can feel in the seat of my pants. No more swaying around turns, I can spin the tires goin around turns, and the ride is overall just a lot more stiff, but so is the ride. I reccomend getting subframes to all vert owners! The installation cost was $99.38 and the subframes were $66.00 with shipping. So for about 150 bucks you can have an alot stiffer ride.

$100 just to weld a piece of metal to your car seems a bit pricey. I called one muffler shop and they quoted me at $175 for install, I laughed and hung up. I called another shop and they told me $45. So I dunno

Did you get the full lengths?

Got them from Blue Oval Industries and no they are not full length, it didn't think that they were worth the extra 100 bucks.

Well I know and trust these guys, and it's the only real shop around here (in a town called Strasburg) unless I wanted to drive another 40 miles into town. I love livin in the boonies. Oh well, the non-full lengths have done me good.
