subframe connectors.

half the noise is the car flexing... if you stiffen the car, the suspension has a chance to work and absorb the impacts.

you must be new here

if you do a search on SFC you'll come up with a ton of detailed info.

in a nutshell, subframe connectors are metal bars that are bolted or welded under the car... they connect the front "frame" of the car with the rear.
these cars have no frame. the floorpan IS the car..... what these connectors do is connect the two points and stiffen the floorpan..

the car doesnt twist over bumps, so panels dont squeek.. it also handles better and just overall feels nicer.


avg cost is 100-250 depending on what ones you get, and where you buy them. installation is bolt on for some... but the better ones have to be welded on.
you can take it to a shop to have them welded... prices range wildly for that, some have it free, others paid close to 200 (and got ripped in my opinion.) i would consider 50-70 a fair price for install.
