Subframes....ya or nah Thinking about a set of subframe connectors...will I see any differance at the track or are they mainly just to keep your car together. I really don't need any more weight on my car.

Re: Subframes....ya or nah Get em. You'll notice the difference right away. It tightens the car up dramatically. I wish I would have done this before anything else.

Re: Subframes....ya or nah Besides the fact that you'll see a big difference in the stiffness of the car.
If you don't get them, in about 50000 miles, you'll start hearing a lot of creaks and groans from your car.
If you do ANY kind of racing, you want these.

Re: Subframes....ya or nah This will convince you. Before I bought an F-body, I heard from the GM guys that subframes would keep the cars tighter in the longrun. I bought my car new in 1998 and installed some weld-on subframes the first week I owned the car.

Re: Subframes....ya or nah You will wish you had them after you bust a peice of plastic out of your drivers side door panel after years of hard launches (me). They will change the feel of the car along with keeping the car in line on harder launches at the track. Must do mod <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
