Default AFTRE-MARKET SUB-FRAME CONNECTERS

my subframe connecters for my vert do not extend to the front support braces behind the front wheels. therefore i don't need to remove them to put the connecters on. my question is -- should i remove the front support braces(drill out the rivets) then trim them and weld them for more support or just leave them alone? thanks.

if you dont have to, you dont need to.

those braces dont do a whole hell of a lot anyways, but a weld is stronger than those rivets, so its something i would do. you dont neet to trim off any of it, just weld it fully to the subframe. the reason they have to get trimmed is because the full length connectors need to sit on the frame.
