I was wondering if u guys that made subframe connectors made the spohn kind or like Alston SFC's, also how hard was it ? Also so if u guys got pics of ur sfc's that would be cool.

 

I seen What you are referring to on this site somewhere, try doing a search

 

This is what my dad did on his car:

I have Alstons on my car:

Mine are closer to the Alston design. At least in the location of mounting. They actually join the subframes together.

In picture DCP_0193.JPG, you can see the rocker panel style is mounted on the outside of the LCA mount. The subframe is towards the inside. Now the third gen doesn't really have true subframes. It's all just sheet metal however the points that look like subframes are multiple sheets of metal to provide the stiffness. Mounting SFC somewhere other than on the subframes isn't properly tying them together although they will work.

 

Kevin,

Is that a 9" housing I see under that red car? It's a little tough to see clearly with the driveshaft and exhaust in the way.

 

No, both my dad and I have 9-bolt rear ends.

At that time, I probably still had the 3.42 10-bolt the car came with.

 

Oh. It seems that two generations of your family and I have the same problem. I've found a couple places that are carrying SOME parts for the axles again, other than the used take-outs at www.9-bolt.com.
