Does anyone know of a shop in the Mississauga or Toronto area that would weld in subframe connectors?

 

I am in the same boat, looking for a place to install my UMI sub frames, also what is a fair price to have theses installed ? I've heard mixed reviews about Master Performance, not sure if I should go there?

 

If you don't mind me asking, where did you get them from and how much did they cost to your door? I still havn't got them yet but am looking around...

 

I had my hartops SFC's welded on at Master Performance. I too had heard the mixed reviews but thought I would give them a shot.... and brought me in a couple times to show me the progress/what they were doing which I appreciated etc...

All in all I was very happy and would have no issues taking my car there again.

 

CSC Racing in Newmarket can do it. If you do not have the parts they can build something custom also.

905 954 0520 Ask for Ralph.

 

Chase Audio Video & Performance can do it aswell in the scarborough area. Did mine there and if you mention that your a thirdgen member sent by Regi will help out aswell

I called CSC a few mos back, spoke to Ralph about it and they do not have a four post lift which almost all SFC manufactures reccomend for installation

 

I would think that they could put the cars suspension on stands.

 

he didnt offer that as a solution.......

 

Sinister (aka Nikko) who is a member here and on CCFBG just opened a shop in Pickering with the old owner of Straight Line Racing.

I know he is in the process of getting a post lift to do sfc installs.

Give him a call - Straight-Line II Perfomance Automotive 905.649.1118

 

Ive completly forgot about Straight Line aswell...wasnt sure if the old owner re-opened yet because I wanted him to build my motor.Do you know if they have a website up and running yet?

 

Not sure.

Why not call and ask.

If they do...post it up.

 

Jason Parker Race cars in Brampton is the man. Builds awsome stuff and one of the best welders I have ever come across.

 

I think I'm gonna go check out Straight-Line II, or Jason Parker, definitely not Master Performance, as I've heard that they cut the rear of the sub frame connector where it bolts to the rear control arm (using UMI product), the person that told me this they did it on his friends car also!

 

One of the guys who had his sfc's cut is a board member (Demon 355).

 

If they welded yours on, on a 2-post lift.....I would wonder just how straight your chassis is anymore. If they did it while the car was on all 4 tires on the ground, how did they get under the car to weld good?

 

Oh sorry....I didnt use him because he didnt have a 4 post lift......heck I have a 2 post lift.....actually I didnt even order a set because I couldnt find anyone to install them anyway then it looked like I was going to have to get them shipped by (rip off) UPS.....I wanted the Spohns....I was getting frustrated then it got cold and I put the car away......this thread has opened up a couple of avenues so maybe I'll get back at it....D

 

Just had mine done at AUTO DREAM in Niagara Falls ont, ordered the Spohn 501 (convertible) frame connectors and also picked up strut tower braces , they came from PA, shipped to my door with US exchange broker fees across the border it was $520.00 CAN .AUTO DREAM DID A GREAT JOB ! cost $380.00 to do everthing ,all i did was drop off car .They took care of the interior partial removeal ,and painted up all the welds and grinding of the old undercoating where they were attached ,

 

stut tower brace ,249.00
Sphno sfc 169.00 (on sale in nov ,now 199.99)
shipped to my door 3 days Niagara Falls canada
$520.00 can money -all fees in -

 

FYI.....Straight Line Racing II is in Pickering.....nice and close to you...call them

 

yea I dont understand why they would do this, wouldnt it be easier to just bolt it on properly?, I also think they didn't/don't install the little piece that goes on the passenger side.

 

who did the shipping? D

 

orderd through Spohn web site ,just gave my address ,and credit card # ,
then they were here

 

Auto dream Group did them exactly like shown on the Spohn Web site , on a 4 wheel lift hoist ,there Shop is amazing spotless ,all painted floors neat as a pin , you could also try a muffler shop ,a local one gave me a price of $200.00 but they wanted the carpet out completly,and said exhaust might have to come off which would be an extra (you know that it would be when they say might ) Just seeing the Auto Dream shop and the classic restored cars in there made me feel that they would respect my old 88 iroc .

 

Hey ! Just wondered if you considered talking to any local body shops, I would think they could be a good bet if they can handle frame work ties should be an easy job.

 

fyi, got a quote from Hot Rod Scotts, looking in the range of 400-500

 

So much for a poor economy...I thought prices go down.

 

no kidding Bill, that's actually the CASH price, and after some what of a discount since I had basically my whole exhaust done there, and taken my other car there for exhaust work over the years lol

 

I know im not from your area but J R owner of Granatelli Motorsports is charging me $50 to get them install. There competetion engineering subrframe connectors but there supose to be bolt on's but i'm getting them welded.

Tony.

 

Has anyone got a quote lately from the boys over @ Redline. Wondering how to buy and install? Let me know if you have.
Thanks

 

I have a set of UMI SFC's I need to get installed in the spring.

Going to give Straight Line II a try. They are now open and have a drive on lift ordered.

Hey Bill, Have you asked them for a price? What did you pay fro yours?
Let us know who it turns out, they are just down the road from me so it would be perfect.

 

I already have the SFC's sitting in my basement...with a few other suspension pieces I've been collecting

I should have the car ready for about June as the motor and tranny still need to go in. Thankfully my mechanic is in West Hill so not too far from Straight Line II.

Haven't asked Nikko or Andy for a price. but as they are having an open house in April I'll get pricing then.

 

wow his shop looks great, when the time comes to put thee sub frames I'll def check them out
