Default New Subframe Connectors From Founders Performance!

These are our newest part that is ready for shipment. They are a round tube weld in subframe connectors. If you have any questions please feel free to ask us.


MADE IN THE USA!

Founders Performance Round Tube Subframe Connectors

1993-2002 Chevrolet Camaro or Pontiac Firebird Hardtop


First thing that should be done to stiffen up the chassis and allow the suspension to work properly is the installation of subframe connectors! Subframe Connectors assist in maintaining the overall integrity and longevity of the vehicle. Take a close look at any unibody car that has been run hard. The doors don’t close quite right and the alignment shop has trouble getting the car to drive straight.

If you want your car to remain rattle free and you want to get the most out of other chassis and engine mods, you have to connect the front and rear frame sections with something stronger than sheet metal. Sub-frame connectors are an absolute requirement for all types of driving.

Features:
  • 1.750" x .120" Mandrel Bent steel tubing.
  • 100% Pulse Spray Welded
  • Designed to weld to the pinch weld / rocker panel for increase rigidity
  • A necessity for any performance minded builder
  • Stops power robbing chassis flex
  • Improves responsiveness and control
  • Shaped to hug the floor pan of your vehicle for maximum ground clearance
  • Optional black or red powder-coat finish to prevent corrosion
  • Weld-in design is far superior and stronger than bolt-in styles
  • 100% MADE IN THE USA

We will be coming out with a box design but we want to finish our torque arm first. Because these are designed to be welded to the pinch weld / rocker panel these will have greater overall strength than a box design that only connects the front to the rear.

Great! I have TSP True duals, will you be making a torque arm that fits or will it be designed more towards factory?

The products you guys make are very nice. I cant believe I can get a set for $125 shipped... Ive been looking for an affordable set, looks like Ive found them....

Do you have any teaser pics of the torque arm or any other products for the Fbody?

Yes! Glad to hear there's a torque arm on the way also! Been keeping my eye out for a replacement that isn't 300 dollars...

^ No ****... I wonder if there is a complete kit? TA, PHB, LCAs, SFCs... Id probably do a whole kit at once considering their prices. Swaybars would be awesome... I figure you could do a whole car for around $800

Yeah I've already got some of their stuff, but I definitely want a TA and some SF connectors! Maybe they'll make an affordable K-member eventually... ahem ahem

Are yall considering doing three points.
Ive got some butchered three points in mine and Id like to replace them If I can find a decent price.

Do these sit lower than the pinchweld. I mean will they be visible from over a few feet away from the vehicle?

Thickness isn't really a factor in the mounting of our parts. The shape of our mounting forms would allow us to make them thinner and still maintain proper strength. The axle side is 3/16" with complete gussets which make them extremely strong. The front side is formed out of 1 piece from 1/8" cold rolled that completely boxes the front subframe. Our parts are not simple flat plates which would require thicker material to achieve the same strength.
