Default subframe connectors
How are tubular subframe connectors? A local shop charges 200$ installed full length welded.

As long as the parts are from a good manufacturer and the price includes installing the connectors by someone who knows what they are doing. That is a great price.

Are there any subframe connectors that also attach to the torque box's to reinforce them

another question. The ones I got are raw steel. Should i paint them before or after I get them welded in. Is regular spray paint good enough to use?
