S F C - OMG !

Finely Installed the Steve Spohn sub frame connectors I bought back in 1998. “Ok so I procrastinated a little” All I can say is holy s*&t . I was lowering the car back to the ground had the jack under right rear of the car just behind passenger door. The entire side of the car was in the air WOW. So you say ok big deal.. Alright I have no hood on the car, rear hatch is up, one door is open, DOORS OPEN AND CLOSE LIKE THE CAR IS ON THE GROUND!!! YES LIFE GOOD!!
:hail: :hail: :hail:

Right out of my mouth. I love Spohn's SFCs... I use them all the time as jacking points too.

Yeah I had my Spohn SFC for about two years before I had them installed this past fall. Had I known the difference they would make I would have had them installed as soon as I bought them.
5 stars for Spohn - outstanding products

I put the Global West subframe connectors in my car - Spohn wasn't even in business when it was done. It fixed all the creaks, rattles, and noises. The car also seemed a lot stiffer (and it is), felt more precise handling, and is easier to jack up.

You get the first group purchase ones he sold? I did and held on to them almost 2 years before getting around to installing them .

I unfortunately have to do some body work before I can put my Spohn SFCs on...

I have rust in the front corners where the front fenders bolt to the body in front of the door... will fix that, then put them on...

I bought them bare, and had them powder coated here for $20

I definently need a set of some kind of sub frame connectors...I'm starting to get a hairline crack between the sail panel and the roof of the car.....must be because of torque or something....sub frame connectors would probably cure that problem...
