Getting SFC's installed in Houston, TX? - South Central Region - Third Generation F-Body Message Boards

Does anyone know of a good suspension/chassis shop around Houston, TX? I want to get these things in perfectly. I have heard that a chassis shop would be the best because they will have the tools and equipment to make my chassis straight before they get put on. Thanks guys!

Does this mean that no one has subframe connectors in Houston? Come on guys, help a fellow thirdgenner out! Thanks

if you can find a good body shop, they should be able to weld them on good and straight.. you are getting weld-in right? Personally I wouldn't count on anything that only bolts on for major chassis stabilization in any long term application. Strut-tower brace, but if I could say I would NEVER have to pull an engine out of a car, I'd weld that in too.

in any case, a lot of good body shops have chassis-liners, or their bodyworkers know enough to get things straight. you would be looking at quite a lot of money to get your chassis straightened and SFC's installed, I would just go w/ the SFC install, but get someone that can do good structural welding to do it.

P.S Out here in Katy, i know David at Kiwi Auto Body has welded SFC's for a guys Mustang, they don't have a chassis-liner anymore though. You might try a Mike's Muffler, the guy at the one next to Texan Ford is an excellent welder.

I bought some SSM connectors last year and haven't got around to installing them. I just called Mike's muffler between Mason & Fry on I-10 and they said they charge $75 to install and possibly as low as $50 depending on the difficulty. I've had really good luck with the guys at Mike's muffler when I have had other work done on my car. I'll probably take it by some time next week and have them installed.
