Well i have pics of one of my cars but not sub frames

I have the South Side Machine (SSM) sub frames, i bought them from Summit. They bolt onto the back where the control arms bolt to the frame and weld on in the front right behind the front tires. I have the same kind of sub frames on both my cars and i LOVE them, they are great. I have some friends with welders so i just gave them $20 for the materials and they welded them for me. Otherwise i would ask a muffler shop if they would do it or go to a speed shop. Just my sub frames cost me $130 i think. I dont have a STB so i cant help ya whit that. Good luck

Bobby

Installation of SFC's and STB are the best investment you can make on any 3rd Gen Car. Both will make a noticeable difference
in how tight they make the car. Buy any brand you prefer, they are all of the same basic design and function.
