BMR subframe connector install??

Hi, I have a quick question about installing BMR subframe connectors (or any other brand for that matter, but will purchase the BMR's) I am wondering if it matters that I have the motor and tranny in my car prior to installing the connectors, or can I install them with the "weight" out of the car. I know I have to have the car on the ground with the weight on the tires. Thanks for the help.

Re: BMR subframe connector install??

the car should be completely assembled, at full weight, and the suspension loaded when you install the SFC's.

Yes what the other posters have stated is correct. You need to have the engine and tranny installed and make sure that when you weld the connectors in you have the suspension loaded. If you have any questions let me know.
