Anyone know a good place to get my subframe connectors installed here in the san Fernando Valley? They're just sitting here looking pretty, but I have no idea who to go to that's installed these before.

Thay are the weld-in UMI subframes so i'd like someone experienced.

Thanks!

I have the box ones from UMI. Got them welded at some shop here in SGV for $40.

Any exhaust shop can hook you up for cheap.

But make sure they know how to weld and not just do a lot of tacks.

I just want someone that knows how they are to be installed. Like if the car has to be under load, or the torque specs. or where they get welded to, etc.

Pretty sure you'll have to be on a ramp style lift (not a 4-point) to be able to get you up in the air and still be able to install the SFC's. The posts of a 4-point lift would likely get in the way of where the SFC's go (Just guessing). Then you know the car will have the SFC's welded on with the suspension loaded. It should be easy to see where they go and what need to be welded.

I can tell you from experience thats a bad idea, guy at an exhaust shop said he would weld in my SLPs and did a **** job, incomplete welds, looks like bird **** and he used bolts to space them down away from the fuel lines so they didnt even make full contact.

One of these days im cutting them off and either doing it myself or taking em to CMS.

Dyno Don is a terrific welder. He pretty much does all of our thridgens but he's down in Orange. If you want experienced guy to do it, then its worth the drive.

i'd personally buy bolt-in SFC and have the ability to get them welded later
