Thanks guys!

My old man is always telling me how they have huge chassis flex problems, but I didnt realize they had such major flexing issues even when cruising. I looked up subframe connectors... about 100 for middle of the road ones from summit and torque box reinforcers are just steel plates for like 30$ as I recall. Thats definetly Do-able. Anything Else I should look into as well? Im looking to buy one towards the end of the summer(hopefully) so im just kind of figuring out some "first things first" sort of mods I def. need to take care of.

Thanks

Jim

Blue oval hold on there!!! I dont own one yet haha. The ones you posted are weld in subframe connectors... Are they better than the bolt ons by leaps and bounds or does it not make much of a difference? Ive laid down beads before but Id NEVER trust them for anything like this, so to have them welded Id have to take the car somewhere, whereas I could drill for bolt ons here. Are they alot better or does it not really make a difference? What kind do you run?

Thanks

Jim

Hi,
Here is a link to some pic's. http://members.webpathway.com/dougns...c-install.html

I just wanted to add and maybe see what ya all think.

I used Wolfe Craft Sub Frames on my car because I didn't wish to weld my roll bar to .080 sheet metal floor pan. I found that link after I installed mine.

See ya,
Les
