$340 for MM full length SFC's installed...

[Black Stang 97]

well i was driving down the street and decided to stop by a local mustang shop i had never gone too....they are charging me 340 for the MM xl full length subframe connectors installed...the price is for the bare steel ones and they paint them black....is it a good price or can i find somewhere cheaper??

i paid 250 for my steeda bare full length subframes installed and they sprayed them also, but that was also over 2 years ago

I dunno...one place I called wanted $250 for install (I have the connectors already and primed/painted them myself), and another place just wanted $57.50/hr for a maximum of 2hrs. For how much it costs, it's almost easier just to rent a welder and do it yourself (if you know how that is )

if they do good work, that's not too bad.

Depends on what welding goes for in your area I guess

the connectors are $135 (or in that area) shipped so you can call around to other shops and get quotes on the welding

around my area i dont have many options....most shops dont even know how to weld them....this shop is about 20 minutes away by streets.....and the next shop is about 1 hour and a half....they are mustang only shop....so they have a better idea on how to weld them...

**** if its a reputable mustang shop, then id spend a bit more money to know it was done right.

 

[Black Stang 97]

yeah.....ive heard good things from it.....thats the reason i went.....

 

[blacknblue2002]

the local mustang shop here quoted me 250$ installed...but they wanna use their own subframe connectors...so I dunno

you could buy a Lincoln MIG at Home Depot for 2 hundred something, get the bare subs for $100, and some spraypaint for $3, it would still be cheaper than what he has to pay ($340)

only other thing would be gas, i don't remember what the Lincoln kit comes with

 

[d98gt]

but lets be realistic I seriously doubt he'll go out and buy a welding machine to do this

If thats the only shop that you trust, then go for it

 

[Black Stang 97]

well theres another one a lil over an hour away...i havent called them....but if its abotut he same price...im not gonna go waste my gas all the way over there...lol

Thats pretty expensive for the install. They may also be charging you a little more because the 96-98 cobras transmission crossmember needs to be modified to weld on subframe connectors. Either way its a little over priced for the work being done.

+1 Sounds good.

I got custom made subframes installed for 300 even. They are made from stronger material and look almost stock.
