instalation on subframe connectors

  • Sponsors (?)


Call around to local muffler shops and see if they will weld them in for you. Usually performance shops over charge for this simple install and muffler shops can do the same job for much less.

I'd be sure that the shop you take it to understands what they are installing though :nice:
 
Yeah,make sure the shop has experience installing them.I think I recall reading somewhere that you have to be careful with the welding...do a little at a time let it cool then continue so you don`t overheat the frame rails.

what kinda subs should i get?


Maximum Motorsports full lenngth non powder coated.

As far as the welding goes just tell them to blow with an air hose on each weld to rapidly cool it. If the shop you call has no clue what you're talking about just move along anyway.
 
I did mine myself. After I found out that the local shop would do them for $65 I though I would give it a shot myself. I have welded before so it wasn't a big issue. Not pretty by any means but I don't plan for many people to be under my car looking at the weld job on the sub frames LOL!

i have never ran sub connectors but i have heard that they help alot....what do they acually do?
All suspension loads go through the front and rear subframes and into the central unibody structure. The Mustang unibody bends and flexes because the front and rear subframes of the car are connected by the unsupported and flexible center portion of the floor pan.
Subframe connectors are welded to the bottom of the unibody, connecting the front and rear subframes and supplying more structure than is provided by the floor pan. This increased structure reduces the amount of bending and twisting in the chassis...

it will do tat huh? well, I can somehow understand how..


I cracked my windshield over the summer having some fun at a Michigan Left turn.... It's going to be fixed this winter, but I was really p.o.'d
BTW: I have SFC's, but I guess not having a top really effects the stiffness of my car. :D
