what does everyone have for subframe connectors im going to install them on my car but need to know the best kind for the money I was looking at the ford racing bolt and weld in ones I know welding them in is stronger so I will weld them even if they are bolt in ones

I got Gripp BBK, with seat support haven't install them yet. but I heard its better with the seat support. I dont think there's really a best one. I'm hear guys make their own on this site. I can't find the post or i'll link you to it.

I found a few on ebay for $50 with shiping. Are they any good? they are weld ins with seat reenforcements and they come powdercoated. why are they soo cheap? I don't understand why someone would pay over $100 if you can get them cheap on ebay? Its really just a steal beam with a few points for you to weld the frame together right??

the gauge will vary (thickness), just make sure they're the right gauge

fastford3388 · May 8th, 2007, 02:11 AM

what is the right gauge? what is too thin? what is too thick?

I picked up a set from CJ Pony parts for like $70. They bolt to the seats and weld at the ends...The Problem is they really don't follow the flow of the sub frames to 100%. They are a little off but what the hell. seem to work pretty well

yeah there is a set from blue oval industries that look pretty decent that i've been looking at. they say full length with torque box adaptors. I think that means that they have the extra brackets by the lower control arms right? they come with the seat bolt thing and they look pretty sturdy. anyone have experience with blue oval industries?
