Hi Guys, I decided to just make my own subframe connectors from some scrap heavy walled square tubing. I notched a few places in the tubing and seemed to fit pretty well. I didn't want to cut into my rear floor either so stacked n welded the rear part. It may not be quite as strong as a form fit aftermarket one, but better than none at all. I also bought ART torque boxes from PurpleCharger(THANKS!), they are going in next. Between the two, should make a big difference. Gary

Very nice! #2Thumbs#
I have never really thought about installing sub frame connectors.
do they make a big difference?

I have subframe connectors on my mustang, made a huge difference in the handling of the car, I don't regret it at all.

Been crazy busy here between work n home fixes so finally getting some pictures up. I also got the subframe connectors and torque boxes in and welded up, and painted. Torque boxes took a little fitting to make work for a proper fit. Ran out of argon gas then caught a nasty splatter between my leathers n helmet. burned along my collar bone then ended up behind my shoulder by the time I got out from under the car, still looks rough after a week! (Laughing Out Loud) Lesson learned so tank filled again. Either frame connectors or t boxes will make a huge difference in handling(so I have heard, my first attempt) so I figured both has to really tighten it up. I will be adding new front bushings later.
