  • install tips?

    alright, i finally ordered my subframe connectors. after a little bit of looking around, i decided to go with spohn. i got the subfrane connectors, torque arm and lower control arms. i will actually be doing the install with one of my friends who welds on air force jets. gonna be exciting. any pre-op tips or pointers that you guys might have to make this as easy as possible?

    Don't stare at the bright light.

    Seriously though, I've never done them on a 4th gen but it can't be too hard.

      #2 is "a hammer fixes anything".

      #3 is "if a hammer can't fix it, beer can".

      lol...

      Doesn't sound like you'll have any problems if your buddy welds on jets...

        From what i have heard it is recommended to have the Sub-frame connecters welded on when your car is on a specialized rack that will make sure that your frame is 100% straight before the welding begins.

            yeah, my buddy welds on jets but has never welded on cars before 8-O this will actually be my first welding experience but from what you guys are saying, it sounds like it shouldnt be too complicated.

                            Ill Give You A Little Tip, On The Torque Arm, Is It Adjustable, It Should Be, Set It 2 Degrees Below The Engine, You Should Lift Good And Get Really Good Traction At That Point. . Just A Little Pointer..

                              i thought that when installing SFC that the car is supposed to have no weight on the wheels. everycar sags/bends that the main reason for this only sayng bc on hp tv while ago the guy explaines that the car is sagging and when its all on jack stands the car is at its STREAIGHTest, but every body has there way i guess.
