Default subframe connectors

ok i have a 89 vert and i hear everyone saying that verts need subframe connectors. i was wondering.. do they get in the way of anything? like dropping the rear end or even pulling the tranny out? can someone show me a pic or tell me where they are welded or bolted in?

if you ever plan on doing any serious launching dont get bolt ons for a foxbody. welding is the only way to go for a fox/sn95

you will have to drill holes through the side of the subframe. just get it welded. $20 at anyplace that welds (frame shop, exhaust shop, etc). even if you dont launch or even race, normal driving will slowly tear the holes you drilled wider
