I don't know, but when you do get subframe connectors installed... lemme know how it goes. I'm planning on some GW Subframe connectors *very* soon... also need a rear sway bar.

Kinda depends on whos doing the welding. Shouldnt take but an hour or two. Most of them you just unbolt the rear bolts on the front seats and bolt the subframes to those then stitch weld the subframes to the body. Full length subframes will take longer as they use reinforecing plates and are longer so they need more welding. The rest of the time is just to get the car in the air and to clean off the welding area then time to paint the subframes to keep rust off.
Took Doug a little less than an hour for mine... Kate
bolt on or weld on?

The only thing different so far is she feels *very solid*. And for those of you who like a little bark going into second..............or............third it's now effortless
Awesome. What kinda subframe connectors did you get?

I bolted in a set in a couple of hours with one extra pair of hands. Another 1-1.5 hours to weld them down later.
Yeah, when you can STAND UNDER THE CAR!!!! Get him to install a pair laying on a SHELL drive way with your headunder neath the car.
