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?

i had two different sets on my old car. the first was the flat ones. the 2nd was the round tube ones. the tubes worked alot better. they not only helped with the side to side flex, but also with flex from the front and rear. it makes since if you think about it, because if you set a plate on top of a paper circle it will hold it up, but a square wont. as for getting them installed, i dont know of anyone that does it. just do it yourself ![[Wink]](wink.gif)

Talk to Steve @ Livermore mufflers if you got the subframes and just need to have them welded on. 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).
