Let's Talk About Sub-Frame Connectors...

[Steve-Oh]

I want sbc's. I don't trust anyone by me to weld on my car. Fcukk. Anyone know a good place possibly in the tri state area

I'd do them for you if my lift was not occupied at the moment.

And to the OP this is where mine sit:

they follow the front sub frame and end up out back right in front of the torque boxes. These are from Steeda and they gave you metal mounting plates for where they mounted in the rear.

So am I seeing this correctly? There is like a 1/4" plate welded to the SFC which is then welded to the car?

 

[Musturd]

There's more to it then just the plates

98% positive it's 1/8"... The plate got welded to the sub frame first and then the frame attached to that. It just gave it a nice flat base to weld to. It's hard to see from the pics but the plate has two 90* bends: one up about 1-1/2" on the inside part of the fame (where the muffler is) and the other is where it's painted black into the torque boxes (where the control arm is). I don't think the plates were necessary as I've welded them in before without them but mine came with them so I put them in.

edit: this is referring to the rear most part of the connector. There are more plates mounted vertically on the connector towards the front.
