got my bmr tubular subframes welded in!

wow, i wish i got these sooner. The subframes really tightened up the car, i can feel it. I bought the subframes for $150, and the shop charged $50 to weld them up, took them like 40 min, real easy install. I got them because I'm juicing now, but i would say these should be one of the first mods, elimininates some rattles too!! Just letting you guys know. Also, another benifit, i got some real nice jack points now, .

i have heard so many people say the same thing.

I cant wait to purchase mine.

I am going with the BMR Boxed the match my rear susp and STB.

rear susp = BMR Chrome Moly Tubular LCA's (rubber/poly bushings) and double adjust PBH.

I installed the rear susp, and STB seperatly, and noticed a difference with each one of those mods.

just curious how well the fitment was with your BMR subframes. i recently had some boxed BMRs installed on my car and while the drivers side fit almost perfectly, the passenger side mounting plate was not entirely on the cars frame b/c of bad alignment. there doesnt appear to be any problems with it but the fact they didnt align correctly kinda pisses me off a little.

I have been tryin to decide between boxed and tubular BMR SFCs for a while now. If I could make up my mind, I'd have them by now. To have them welded in, did you have too pull up the carpet so it would not get burnt by the heat?

I am not sure about the boxed but the tubular's you dont have too... just watch out for the fuel lines..
