Default RE: Subframes?

There are three different kinds of subframe connectors. You can get simple bolt-ins, which require no welding and can be installed in your garage. The other two both require welding, and must be done on a lift - DO NOT attempt to weld the subframes into place on jackstands! When you put the car back on the ground, it might not sit level anymore. I've heard some real horror stories about that. Back to the types though, the most common are standard weld-ins which won't require removal of carpet or anything like that. The third type is "through the floor" - these are the strongest, as they actually replace a section of the floorboard; however, most cars don't need anything that drastic. This type would require the removal of the seats and carpet, however.

hold on subframes go inside the car? why would you need to remove the carpet? i thought they welded onto the bottom of the car?
Becuase the floorboard will get to hot and youll set the whole carpet on fire which leads to the car catching on fire and then you gotta call someone like me put it out [sm=badbadbad.gif]

Exactly. Or, at the very least, the floor might get hot enough to curl the carpet, and make it like 'poofy' in spots. I just don't want to ruin my carpet thats why I asked.
