Default RE: subframe connectors

Hello, though it is most likelyto late to change your mind now, Go to photobucket, type in webjepn21 to find my albumand look at the TCP connectorsI used ona GT-350R clone I am building.TCP also offers a lower cage with driveshaft loopthat bolts in between rails to tie everything togather. The front suspension is also TCP, as is F&R shocks,Rack&Pinion, and upper tower braces. Very pricy but car handles like a new vette. Almost finished,Lots of little details left. Tony.

I looked at the tinmanas well. Very nice product but I'm planning on going with the TCP setup since I'm going to use their R&P and Front Coilover as well.

Let me know what you think of those tinmans.

They were my second choice.

Here is what I am using on my daughters 66 Mustang, that I am putting a well over 300hp SVO 2.3 turbo motor in. They are from Heidt's. The bottom one is pictures of the whole build so far and a few of my other cars.

If you can weld, why don't you make your own for about $30.00 I have plans and a how-to on the topic

This are very similar to the tinman ones in form and function

I did the stage 1 & 2 kit from TCP - it was pricey, maybe 360ish at mustang depot but it does handle pretty tight. It does make the car bounce a bit being so rigid but I like it

Precisely why I didn't go that route. Makes the car feel like a go-kart. Regular sub frame connectors stiffen up the car enough for daily and enjoyable driving. Great if your looking for a performance setup but not what most people need. To each's own though

Damn forum gremlins! I lost my reply.

I put on a set of TCP weld on style subframe connectors and cross brace. It is one of the best mods I have found yet! It along with my CE Slide-a-links really made a nice rear end! When welding them in, I have two pieces of advice. Try to clean as much of the area you are welding to as possible. The undercoat stuff is nasty to weld thru. Second, remove your carpet! I toasted the passenger side and dang near burnt ol' whisky up. I was replacing the carpet anyway, so no big deal but remove for saftey any Dynomat, carpet, or padding where you are welding.
