Subframe connectors

The connectors tuck nicely under the car!
Good fitment

If you look at where the connector attaches to the frame, you can see where I had to grind off metal to get the connector to slide over the frame. It would not fit correctly without doing this. Also: I ended up having to get 4in of the 3/8 24 thread pitch bolts instead of the 3.5in that are supplied. Where they attach and the frame widens, the 3.5in bolt is not long enough to engage the locking portion of the lock nut provided.

I used some 3/8in hollow steel bar found at Tractor supply to make these rods. This will strengthen the joint- should be no flex or bending of the frame or connector this way.

These do not sit any lower than my exhaust.
