I UNDERSTAND THAT SUB FRAME CONN. HAVE TO BE WLEDED BY A GOOD PERFORMANCE SHOP OR YOUR CAR WILL LOOK LIKE CIMMANON TWIST? ANYONE KNOW OF A SHOP IN NY THAT DOES THEM THERE WAS A SHOP IN LONG ISLAND BUT I FORGOT I THINK IT WAS IN A GM HIGH TECH ISSUE FEW YEARS AGO.

you understand wrong, but you do have a pretty good handle on the cap lock button

Can you weld? If not take it to the shop. If you can then weld them in. It is not that hard mine took 3 hours to put in, but I have a mig and I know how to use it.

i was asking how too weld them in cause i read an article before that the car has to be lifted exactly right at each corner so the car doesnt end up twisted.

Put the front tires on car ramps and put two jack stands under the rear axle, as close to the tires as you can. The car is straight. It is just like being on the ground. That is how I did mine and it is straight as a arrow, and it is a vert. Hope this helps.
