Im looking into thru the floor subframe connectors for my stang. THe wolfe racecraft ones to be exact.

On there site it says to support the car by jack stands. Ok, but for other subframe connectors sites such as MM and griggs, it says to support the car evenly with the weight on it's wheels.(with ramps under wheels).

what's up with the descrepency here?

Also, last thing:
Would it matter if i change springs after the thru the floor subs go in? The car would probably be at a different height and so would the ("geometry" i suppose the term is) be effected by doing so?

I think the reason Wolfe Racecraft tells you to support the body and not the suspension, is because once you cut the holes in the floor pan, the body will be more likely to twist if it's suspended under the wheels.
