Re: subframe connector pics plz...
I would like to see those on the car
I always wondered why they dont make them with a driveshaft loop that is very rigid
I think that if it was placed right before the body starts to turn up for the wheel this would give us a bunch more strenth
subframe connectors are now just starting to evolve
and it super cool

Re: subframe connector pics plz...
Aren't those double diamond KB's for a fourth gen? Don't look like they would fit a 3rd gen to me.
I have lots of undercarraige pics of my old Camaro here. Alot of those pics a old as things evolved quite a bit over the years. But the pages show alot of details pics of various suspension parts.

Re: subframe connector pics plz...
you still haven't tried them on your car? I can assure you, without a doubt, they are 4th gen sfc's. The thirdgen trans crossmember mounts are on crazy angles, the ones in you pic are flat, like the 4th gen. they are also too far back to be for a 3rd gen.

Re: subframe connector pics plz...
I held one up under a 3rd gen vert for a quick check. Of course they wouldn't sit flat on a vert, but the front, middle & rear mounting points sure did look like they lined up good.
I sent the pic & the Serial # on it, to Kenny Brown, to see if they could provide any verification of what they are.
When I look up 4th gen double diamond styles one, they look different....Not a straight bar on the outside...
If they ARE 4th gen ones, I got screwed by a TGO member.....
