Especially, if you have a Fox body. You can get subframe connectors and get them welded in for ~$200 Eric Posts: 297 | From: San Jose, CA | Registered: Sep 2001  |  : Primer GR40 ¯ Member # 476 posted                                 poly bushings LCA's and UCA's -------------------- Superdupercharged Cobra No Transmatic Notch Posts: 2108 | Registered: Sep 2001  |  : Bill/APEX Motorsports ¯ Member # 636 posted                                 It really depends what you're going to do with the car: street only? Drag race? Road race? What's your preference? Normally, in addition to your mods, I'd recommend subframe connectors, k-member brace, caster/camber plates, offset steering rack bushings, lower control arms, and a good alignment. That's where I'd start. -------------------- Bill Kaiser APEX Motorsports Santa Clara www.apexmotorsports.com 408-562-1000 bill@apexmotorsports.com Posts: 488 | From: Santa Clara, CA | Registered: Dec 2001  |  : liftedF150 ¯ Member # 868 posted                              ya i have caster camber plates all ready, i dont know what im really looking for i want somthing that will be able to handle and corner good. were would i take my car to get it welded? -------------------- GO SHARKS!
