Subframes, worthwhile mod?
Re: Subframes, worthwhile mod?
i dont recall noticing much of a difference honestly. I haven't auto-crossed or anything, but I honestly didnt notice much of anything. Some people swear by them, others were a little less impressed
Re: Subframes, worthwhile mod?
I did not notice a huge difference on my hardtop car, but when I put the t-tops in...there was no additional rattles or anyting. Yes, I think the hardtop cars are stiffer to begin with.

I'm on record all over the place with my thoughts...... They aren't BAD THINGS, but they also should not be the first priority unless the car is a serious drag car with some power and traction, even then I'd be hard pressed to say they should be the very first mod.
The chassis is NOT a wet noodle on this car. How many of these do we see twisted like a pretzel? None. I have customers with over 200k and one with almost 400k miles on 4th gens and they not only drive great, but are still very fast autocross cars!
I'm happy to explain my thoughts. I can't do it online because someone always wants to twist what I'm saying. E-mail or forums are vague at best, and I work in particulars. A particular car or situation could warrant connectors much earlier than another car or situation. I can't know that without speaking to the person.

If you have to ask the question: "subframes, worthwhile mod?", then you don't need them. My opinion is they should be the first Mod you make.

Re: Subframes, worthwhile mod?
get them I just cracked my dash on a launch at the track the other night and I didn't have them. They are my next mod. I know I am an idiot I should have done them first to don't neglect on SFC's
