Sub-Frame Connectors

I'm looking for some sub-frame connectors for a 1999 Z28. Weld in or bolt in. I can't find any for this specific car. Also, are they a reasonable add-on. I heard Camaros can vibrate a lot and some sub-frames will stop it. Thanks!

Yeah, in my opinion, subframes should be the first suspension mod. They make the car feel much more 'solid' in the corners and in everyday driving really. It was a night and day difference. check out some of the sponsers like www.thunderracing.com for a good selection. any of them from 93-02 hardtop/t-top fbody should fit your car.

Ok, I think I will go for the Kenny Browns. Now where can I take them to get them welded in? I'll look for a Camaro performance shop but what if I can't find one. What type of place will do this work, and do it right? Thanks.

Ralph Gobel used to have a shop in Sac but I think he retired. Used to only work on LT1 & LS1's. I paid $80 to have my KBDD's installed. See is he's still open, Ralph's Hot Rod Heaven, otherwise go to a good exhaust shop.
