so i bought these subframe connectors they are bbk chromoly and i got bolt on design these things suck non of the hole line up and i bought them last year so i cant return them anyways i was thinking about not even using the bolts and just welding them on anyone think that would b a bad idea and why ?

josh.davis

sounds like a good idea to me

I don't see why you couldn't weld them on. You should have gone with the weld-ons in the first place because just bolting them on doesn't do much.

Weld 'em in, it'll be stronger than bolt in.

Never, never, I repeat never bolt a subframe connector onto your car. You'd be drilling holes (weakening the unibody) before trying to stiffen something thats connected by some small bolts with thread. It just doesnt seem to work right, always get weld in subframes. When you get them welded in, make sure its 4 post lift that raises your car by the tires (drive on lift) and not the one that lifts the car by the undercarriage. Main reason is because when they raise the car like that the car actually flexes quite a bit and if they welded the subframe like that, the subframe is strong enough and the unibody is weak enough to stay like that, make sure the subframe lines up to all the weld points and that they are not forcing the subframe on, because of the above stated reason/
