Subframe Connectors Install

Well subframe connectors it is then. Every website I have been to it has been either said finish the NOS system or SFC's and SFC's have won by a long shot. Can't wait to put them on now. I know they usually cost around 155.00 + shipping but how much does it usually cost to weld them in?

I have mine sitting in the garage right now. I had originaly planned on installing them myself put due to lack of experience I decided to let someone else install them. I called around and the cheapest one I could find and the only one I could find with experience in sub-frame installation is going to charge me 60 bucks an hour. Just to save on the time and money I'm going to trial fit them myself incase the exhaust needs adjusted, I'm also going to pull the carpet back, that's one of the things he requires. He said he was going to do it, but if its going to save me a couple bucks I'll do it myself.

You should be able to find a muffler shop to weld them in for you for about $75-$100 , take out the seats yourself to save on there labor. I did mine myself and it took about an hour on a nice drive on lift not counting another hour getting the seats out and the carpet blocked up with 2x4's.

The problem isn't the welding. took me 20 minutes to weld it all up, but fitting it, moving stuff, and possible midification to the car (beating the **** out of the floors, etc) is what takes time.
