Speed Inc. here in Illinois welded mine for $75, so something in that price area is fair.

Wow, $75? I’m sure the type and any prep work you do will affect the price, but I believe that $150-200 is more typical around here.

Almost all chassis work like that is by the hour. You can quote a time. Subframe connecters arent a big deal but prep and checking square are. So is moving all the lines and interior on some cars so no oopsees. Spend youre time shopping for good shop and prep as much as you can. Nothing worse than having to pull seats and carpet and then have to put it back.

We typically charge between $175-225. Depends on the style of SFC's... Also the big factor is if the chassis is already out of line, etc. then it is a big PITA.

Get it done right, professionally, it takes a while to do the prep work and get these things lined up straight. Anyone with a welder can zap a piece of metal in, but there are logistics behind the idea of a straight tube connecting two parts of the chassis of your car...
