Author Topic: Subframe Connectors 2000BlackGT Loyalty Member # 283 posted 2002-05-24 08:31 PM                              Where to get these installed? I am not paying Bill $100 to install subframes, thats rediculous. I am looking at the griggs subframes and they're only 79.99, sweet! Are there any negative effects of subframes?

He'll do a good job for a reasonable price. I've never heard of any negative effects from subframes other then if you are planning on doing side exhausts - clearance may become an issue (the Steeda side pipes require a special low-profile subframe member).

It's like $20-40 to have them welded in. Mine were $20. -------------------- 14 Focus TS ST3 full Stg3, ready for bigger Turbo 2003 Cobra Track Car Posts: 8145 | From: Hitting the Apex | Registered: Jan 2002  |  : BramellS4 ¯ Member # 975 posted 2002-05-27 08:11 PM                              subframes actualy help with squeaks, and shit like that, its not just a performance thing. -------------------- 89 gt-gone 95 cobra-gone 00 audi s4...ever heard of one of those?
