Subframes DO make a difference
Subframes DO make a difference Wow, just had mine welded in. They're BMR replicas made from stronger race chassis tubing. I got used to the way the car had felt for 42k miles before them and now the SFCs make a huge difference. Local guy from our club welded them in for me and I could tell a difference in the way the car feels as I simply backed down out of his driveway.
To anyone who has a t-top F-body and doesn't have SFCs yet, give them a shot. You can pick them up for $150 and get them put in for $50. They tighten the car so much and give it a more solid feeling. Great money spent in my opinion.

You can feel the suspension working instead of the body and you taking the brunt of impact.
Oh yeah and I need SFC's, but I need my LT's and TD's put on first.

Just imagine riding in your car, and how it feels it terms of the ride quality when cruising, going over bumps, or going through twists. Now imagine any nicer, better built car that you may have ever ridden it.
It's really hard to describe. But I know that I felt it as soon as I backed out of the driveway of the guy that welded mine in. He has a steep driveway and as soon as I was backing off of the incline and onto the flat street again, my car didn't feel like it used to. It felt more solid and kept together better, like a stiff go-cart (good analogy).
