The body supports have not changed from picture to picture. The body was supported at the front and rear of the frame rails on jackstands and has not moved. The subframe was placed under the car using the DSE body bushings, aligned, and tightened. I then supported the front of the subframe with a hydraulic jack to take any potential load or flexing out of the equation since the weight of the subframe I thought could flex the floor without the seat pan brackets in. i didn't notice any flexing during the process.

The only thing I can think is that the floor did flex, BUT here's the thing. After I tacked the connectors in place, I removed the subframe. If the floor had flexed with the frame in place wouldn't removing the frame allow it relax back to its natural position? If so, wouldn't the connectors relax with the floor.

I would expect to see a noticeable crease in floor if it truly moved this much.

They'll work like they are, but they're not right. Why is the major question right now.
