Gears or subs?

If the car's on a lift with the wheels hanging free, the unibody may not be in the same state as if the car were sitting normally on the ground. You want to have the subs welded on with the unibody normally "loaded" with the wheels supporting the car.

Lmfao!! Well, on this check I'm going to buy a speedcal to fix my speedometer.. but then I'm definitely going to get subframe connectors. I've still got my mind set on GW subframe connectors.

Have you looked at the Steeda chromolly (spy) ??? Weld ons, of course.

That's what I've got, except of course they're for the Fox body style. I also have the g-load brace, the sport springs, and non-adjustable Tokicos. Great stuff.

well if it is really only 2-4 weeks, does it _really_ matter at this point? if it makes sense for your wallet to get gears i say get them, and promise not to step into 'her until you get the SFC welded in.

and while we're on beefing things up, don't forget a shock tower brace and k-frame strengtheners, if you don't have them already.

I already have gears.
