Hi Everyone,

I have a 91 Trans Am that I eventually want to do an LS Swap to. The car could really benefit from having subframe connectors installed. Is there a good reason why I should wait until after the swap to install the SFC's? Will it make anything with the swap harder if I get them installed now? During the swap the car is going to need all the related work done as well, exhaust, fuel tank, suspension, etc.

Is there a general consensus for the best subframe connections for these cars that you can actually still buy? I'm guessing weld in would be better?

 

Is your car already running and driving? IF so you can get the SFC install before you swap. Depending on what brand you get your factory exhaust routing may interfere. I have BMR inner sfc on my car.

 

Yeah, car still has the stock setup and does run/drive. Not great, but it drives. lol Are these the ones you : https://www.hawksmotorsports.com/bmr...ors-bolt-weld/

Satisfied with them?

Anyone fans of Detroit Speed or UMI SFC's?

 

Its never too soon to install SFCs.I have Global west perimeter & a very old (pre) Alston inner set, yes two sets on my vert.

 

Yes thats what i have. the UMI ones i had on my old car as well. they are great. I am not familiar with the DSE sfc

 

My general advise it to always make the car better before making it faster. So SFC's and Brakes are first priority, then suspension, then anything else after that

Oh, and DSE SFCs are a great design and do not compromise ground clearance or anything else, but they are a lot more work to install than anyone else's. I put them in my car and would recommend them, if you can do the work yourself.
