Subframe installation question
When installing subframe connectors, can you lift your car completely off the ground and install them or do you have to jack up with part of the car resting on the ground? Also, exactly where do they weld on to the frame?

Make sure to have them welded in while the car's suspension is loaded. (drive on lift)
The SFCs connect your front frame to your back frame.  They usually weld to your rear frame where your LCA's bolt into and the front of the car, you'll see it. Its right behind the plastic jacking point.

I've never heard that before. Could you elaborate on that please? I didn't have mine installed like that. I definatly feel the difference and after a few weeks my welds look fine and I've noticed no problems.
