any body ever run any of the cheaper subframe connectors thats out there.im never gonna ever make any good power but id like to stiffen the car up a bit.

 

i run a $50 set from ebay. nothing wrong with them, its just a piece of square tubing

 

i have the 60 dollar ones from lrs.not bad but had a bit of fittment issues.they come perfectly straight with the seat brackets. the prob is that the front and rear frame rail are diffrent hieghts.so when you suck the connecters up to the seat you end up with gaps that have to be filled with the welder. if it were me buying them again i would spend allitle more and go with the ones that are slightly offset.

 

thats what i was wondering as far as fitment issues.but if its nothing major then im prob not going to worry about any issues.i really didnt want to spend 100 plus dollars on something and have some cheapies fit just as good.

 

made my own for 40 bucks

 

use any tubing and even angle iron works very well, sfc are a mod every uni-body car should install, the control it provides are instant. One of the very first mods you should install. Don't go buy MM or the other high priced sfc's they do no better then two 3ft steel tubing welded in.

 

as long as they're straight your good, weld in the front first then jack up the back of the sub's and weld them in, if you have the equiptment, it would be better to heat up the sub's about 10-12" behind the front of the sub's then jack up the rear and it will conform to the car. This is what I have done and have not had any problems, also if the tubing is open on both sides, make some plates and weld them up to be watertight.

 

well thanks for all the info.im gonna have one of my friends dad weld them in for me.also do you have to take the carpet out,or is it ok to leave in.i forgot to ask this earlier

 

I kept my carpet in, open the windows if your welding, may get smokie inside.

 

same thing i did, no issues
