sub frame connectors

hi

Can anyone give me dimensions of subframe connectors for 1988 Iroc. I dont have got ttops, but I have couple of mods, and roads in Poland are terrible so I think it would be better to do sub frames and strut tbrace, and of course it = better handling.

I asking for dimensions because it is expensive to buy esspecially when I would have to pay twice as much shipping,tax etc etc...

I would be very greatful

Hotchkis subframe connector's

I have Hotchkis subframe connector's which are going to be a challenge to install since I have the dual cats. The thickness of the connector is about 1 1/5 inch. That leaves no room between the cat pipes and the rail against which the subframe is to be welded on. If you have a singel cat it is no problem. You need to have some clearance between the exhaust pipe and the SFC. My exhaust is going to need serious modding and I'm going to have the shop do the headers and SFC's at the same time. I believe the cats are going to have to be moved back. Hope that helps.
