I had mine done at Griggs @ Sears Point
They aren't just the subframes though, I had them install the in-floor frame kit (a must in a 'vert) the cost parts and labor was $875

Not cheap, but worth it in my opinion

HOWEVER, Is I had it to do over again, I would just buy the kit and a welder (which would cost about the same $875) and do it myself

Not much help was I?

Good Luck
Brian

www.Apexmotorsports.net is running a discount this month for CaliforniaFords.com members. Give them a call and see what they say. I forgot the name of the member, but if you look at posts made earlier this month in this forum, a member got a good deal on a set of griggs sub frames.

It involves removal of the entire interior, plus cutting out the floor. Then welding, then reinstallation of the interior.

You couldn't save much by going elsewhere.

st5150's right. We're having a 10% off sale right now on Griggs Racing and Bassani exhaust products. For subframe connectors, it works out to $190.40 with parts, tax, and labor, which is a great deal.
If you're interested, just give me a call or email. Thanks!
