: O.k. I just recieved my connectors from Chassis Engineering on Wed.
: I have looked into this alot and read up on what different people had to say about sub frame connectors.First of all...YES get some. With that said I will tell you what the instruction sheet said that came with mine"These sub-frame connectors require no modifications to the floor,and are a simple weld in installation.The car MUST be levelside to side and from front to back. Hold the connectors upto the front and rear subframes to check the fit.Use a grinder or sander to fit the connectors. Prepare the factory sub frames for welding by cleaning them with a grinder or sander. Tack weld the connectors in place on both sides and re check for fitand interference with any other components.(Remember that the carpet and padding must be removed)
: Finish welding the connectors.Be sure to completely weld all mating surfaces for maximum strength . After cooling replace carpet and seats,and undercoat or paint to prevent rust."
: The connectors are part #3645 and they cost $89.95
