Default Subframe Connectors

Well i just had my subframes welded in today. I havent driven around with them too much, but i can tell they make a huge difference going over bumps and things. I think they were definately worth the money.

That's one thing I really want to learn is welding.... it'd come in so handy to have a welder in the garage for stuff like that as well as a load of other stuff.

As for subframes, definitly get the full-length weld-ins. Don't compromise for anything less.
