Are subframe connectors supposed to cost 500 canadian??? That seems like way to much to spend but I called 3 different places and the cheapest store sold them for $465 plus another 100 to install. I cant spend that much on them so is there a way to make my own??
thanks Jesse

Yea its possible to make your own SFC a few people on this board have done it. They'll probably see this and post up. As for being expensive how much is that in US dollars? Cause I bought my SFC's for $175 and shipped to hawaii came out to a total of only $225. Is the canadian to us dollar ratio that bad?

They were easy to make and cost me about 50 bucks in material.
I used 2" square tubing .187 wall. and some 1 1/2" .120 wall that I had laying around. It tightened up the car alot.

Yea make your own, or go to a welding shop and get them to make you a set if you don't have the equipment.

you will still save a couple hundred bucks getting a welding shop to do it.
