Default Madman`s sub-frames?

I`ve checked his site but can`t come up with info on his sub-frames for 4th gen F-bodies. Tried email a few time but no response. Anyone using these? If so, can you give me some details? (Price, construction, weight, etc.) Thanks.

I thought I heard some guys talking about them a while back. Maybe that`s why he won`t email me back, maybe he doesn`t make them??? Anyone know?

I have the Madman frame connectors on my car. I bought them in a complete package with the Madman torque arm, so I don't know how much they cost by themselves.

They're chromemoly tubular construction, and tuck up very nicely and are almost totally out of sight. I didn't weigh them before welding them in, but they aren't very heavy at all.

Call Madman himself for more info. I'm sure he'd have no problem giving you details on them.

Ditto... I can't imagine any exhaust clearance issues with the Madman SFC's.

Thanks George. Do you think they will work with a Hooker Y-pipe?

they run right inside of where the rocker is pinched and spot welded to the body. I dont see why your hooker y-pipe would be all the way over there.

MM's subframes are a "Custom" job..he really doesn't offer a kit. I know he charges about 200-250 dollars installed. He looks at your combo and what your "Future" combo might be and makes sure to provide adaquate clearance for them.

George is right that they are Chromoly tubing and are spot welded all along. He tries to tuck the subs up as far as possible to not hurt your ground clearance.

I have them on my formula and had them on my Camaro and I must say that both cars are monsterously stiff.
