I'm curious as to when a good time is to install a subframe connector. I dont have any frame damage or anything like that, but i'm looking to upgrade to lot more hp (approx 300hp from an I6 standard 100.... BARELY 100) in the near future and i'm sure i'll need to install some sort of bracing/support.

 

A good time is when there is nothing else that needs to be fixed on the undercarriage and you have the money.


Even if you do not go with a full 300hp the sub-frame connectors will make the body stiffer so it will handle better in the turns (less roll in the body). At least that's what I understand from what I've read and heard.

 

Any time is a good time

 

NOW....

 

Go for it they stiff the car up a lot makes it ride better and handle better.

 

If it wasn't for them, my car would have been totaled...
It saved the back end.
The rear axle got shoved under the trunk and flattened the frame rail, smashed the gas tank.
It buckled the other quarter but held good.

Those aren't good pic of that ordeal since I'm working on the car right now.
I have some close ones right after the wreck and you can see that the sub frame connectors held the back end good.
Just can't find them right now...
I have the tubular Global West that connect (welded) past the torq boxes towards the back on the rail.
Thanks for that

 

Totally agree +1

 

I wish I had installed mine before the body started twisting and cracking. I have them now and I'm sure they will come in handy. I won't know how they ride until spring
