Does anyone have a set of full length weld on sub Frame connectors? I need a set. And no I don't want to make some.

I used the maximum motorsports full length ones, got them from American Muscle shipped for 110 I think it was. I even cut them off the vert I had and just put them on another car. Nice quality pieces.

This. The MM's are nice. Rob at Rogue installed mine, but he said he has to modify pretty much any set of off the shelf SFC's so they contour to the floor better.

Yep. The are angled in 2 places, we had to bend them a bit more to match them up. After doing them twice, I'm not happy with the looks of my welds on either, I would just pay someone to do them.

You need the car level with the weight on all four tires as well.

I got the bare metal ones. Cause I figured you have to clean spots of it to weld anyway. Save the money and coat them yourself

Those are exactly what I have. I got mine when they were running a sale though so I ended up getting the coated ones for the bare SFC price tag.

Good idea. Would the heat from a welder would burn any of the coating off past where you would need to clean it up for welding?

Kev Rob at rogue quoted a great price for the work involved, we couldn't get our time frames to line up but I would have used him.

If you don't want to cut your floorboards with a through floor set like Wolfe etc. I think MM Is one of the best. They will need to be tweaked for proper fit. All unibody cars flex and the connecotrs will need to be adjusted to fit your car accordingly. RRC is one of the best in southwest Ohio.

Pretty sure it was more. He is one of the lower priced in the area though. I can do em, but you won't like how we get the car in the air.

Give yourself a day and some brew and you can do it. Like we said depending on how jacked the chassis is after 20+ years be prepared to bend them a little. If you do it on a weekend day hit me up, I am a semi professional amateur welder. 513-390-3614

The BBK ones I just put on my convertible fit really good, I did have to elongate the hole for the bracket that bolts to the seat, other than that no issues.

Kevin I put the subframes in kennys car and they looked great. The bbks are nice... It's a street car not a race car so full length deals would be overkill with the work and shit it takes to install them...bbks you could put in... Just my opinion....
