What is a good sub frame connector kit in the $200 range? I'm in the process of converting my 8" rear to a 9" with a posi unit, 3.50 gears, under ride traction bars and I think it would probably be a good idea to add some strength to the sub frame.

thanks!

 

I just put these on our '65 coupe today during the restoration process.

I bolted them on for now, but when I get better at welding, I'll weld them in.

Good plan. Bolted-on frame connectors are essentially just decorations.

 

I was actually looking at those, whats your impression on the quality?

 

I thought they were good. They felt sturdy, and the hardware was good.

That's what I figured, the car is still a empty shell right now so it gives me better jacking and jack stand points. I went to jack the car up to reposition the passenger front stand and the whole side lifted up were as before only one corner would lift. It will also give me better stability when I do the drivers side rocker panel.

I just installed these...

from the limited driving i have done since, they have completely changed the feel of the car. by taking the floor pan flex out they also show up any other issues you may have in the suspension too so either have everything in order or be prepared to make it right

 

I used TinMan. If you can weld them in, they are a good buy (about $125 I think) but are probably overkill for most cars - 11 ga steel and weigh about 40 lbs. Definitely stiffens the car.

 

these cost about $50 in materials/consumables.

11 awg steel.

 

I have these same ones on mine. They fit great. I bolted them in and then had my exhaust guy weld them. I would definitely buy them again.
