Bolt on or weld on sub connecters?

[drivin-fool]

I'm not going to race this car so would the bolt on sub frame connecters be suitable or are the welded type a better option?

I plan on installing a 3.73 gears soon, and eventually beefing up the engine, but nothing extreme.

I would go ahead and do the weld in type. Will be a bit stronger

Weld in is the way to go, easy to do, and no rattle to worry about when/if the bolts loosen up ;)

Welded, also make sure the suspension is loaded. A drive on lift is the best (not a post lift) you can use 4 ramps also to load the suspension. If your doing this at the house.

you def want to weld them on. maximum motorsports and steeda has some of the nicest ones out there.

set each a-arm on a jackstand close to the ball joint and set the rear end on 2 jackstands and weld away if you don't have a drive on lift.

MM FL sub frames are the ONLY way to go. imo

Everybody has already told you the right way to go

i had a local shop do up some weld in subframes for me for $125 ( i couldnt get the Maximum motorsports ones shipped to me for that much) and man is the car stiff. putting it on jack stands on unlevel pavement is a real pain...
