Just installed my SLP SFC's... What a difference...these things make... unbelivable how much flex is gone...I beat the car up on a few train tracks and potholes...extrememly stiff ride...I was dissapointed I was no longer bouncing around in the seat... Don't know if it's the SFC"s that made the difference... or all the other upgrades I have on the chassy... but these things are awsome....



Just thought I'd put in my 2cents... for those lurking the "subframne" catagory.

I love the subframe connector i got weld on ones they should be one of the first mods to an Fbody!

I have the slp weld on's too and I really didn't feel much of a difference compared to my other susspension upgrades. My lonely 2 cents.

I made a set of SFCs that I welded and bolted to the control arms to the rear control arms and then to the front subframes, they made a huge difference IMHO. Totally different car, oh and if you liked subframe connectors try an adjustable torque arm
I made one that was adjustable for my 9incher, it really improved traction. Suspension mods are too often put off and dramatically improve performance.

I like mine, I'm glad they didnt turn the ride into **** when you're just cruising

subframes have a remarkable knack for remedying squeaks and rattles that fbodies are prone to.

I think it's one of the best mods to do first......love my weld on's.

Has anyone ever ran into a chassie twisted so much that the sfc were miss allinged or had a gap between the chassie and welding point on the sfc. just wondering because my car has had a rough life even though it dosent show it but was going to buy bolt on sfc and also weld them on.

The SLP bolt ons and weld ons are identical in the SFC itself, the bolt on version just comes with the hardware and they're powdercoated black whereas the weld on ones need to be painted after install. Also, if you're going to weld them on, then you dont need to also bolt them on, the hardware wouldnt be doing anything at that point.

oh crap what should I paint them w/ so they don't rust

I just used an black epoxy paint.

bdc95ta

not at the moment, although they havent been on long. I just used specifically the rustoleum industrial epoxy spray paint.

subframe connectors are the end all be all first mod to an fbody. I have the kenny brown double diamonds on both of my 4th gens, they are my favorite. The weld ins on the 98 arent as big as the bolt ins on the 94 though, hmm

Apparently the KBs arent all they're cracked up to be......

well, first link isnt working.. but it showed some pictures of some badly bending KB SFCs. apparently up front they're pretty weak compared to the SLPs
