BEST Subframe connectors

[Georgie]

anyone have pictures of the MM XLT subframe connectors?..i want to see how wide they are... it would be easy to make some as wide as the frame rails..i think they are 2.5 - 3 " wide? and id use stainless.

Call up your local chassis shop, most of the time you can find some that will do through the floor subframes for around $300, and by the time you get the mm's pay shipping then if you have to pay someone to put them on...

I run the blue oval industries full length SFC's. They are models after the MM stuff but a hell of a lot cheaper. The welds were quality and the fit was great. I welded them on and immediately noticed a big difference. The car corners much better and takes bumps better too!

+1 Same ones I got, powder coated red and fit great. Help my capri out great!

Bolt-ons are only good for folks (like me) that can't weld and just want to have the thing installed and in place so they can drive it over to a shop and have 'em finish it up with some welding.

Pretty important that, if you're doing it yourself (or if your welder isn't experienced with 'em), you MUST make sure you've got the frame straight and level before you go welding SCF's into place. If you go jacking up the car unevenly, your frame will be a little bit skewed over one way or another (twisted slightly) and welding the SFC's on will make it pretty much STAY like that. That would really suck if you've got one of those cars that won't let the doors open/close if things are tweaked one way or another, and you wind up needing to grind off the welds to the SFC's just to be able to get in/out of your car.

I have the same ones. I'm very pleased with the quality of the SFC's, and you can't beat the price.

no such thing

There is no such thing as having a CHASSIS that's too stiff for the street. A stiffer chassis just lets the suspension do it's job better.

Really stiff shocks, struts and springs are the things that make your car too stiff for the street.
