Which subframe connectors?

[6D9 Matt]

I went with Hotchkis SFC's... very nice pieces.

Come on John!! Lol

Hotchkis! I should have a set on the shelf for you to pickup.

Just call Kim and if we are out she will get you a set, they are very nice pieces and some guys weld them to the sub and some just bolt them...

If your car needs a true frame extension for real HP and you have invested in the car needing it, do the DSE's, they are the best and yes you need to recess to get the right stability and quality. If not do one of the other solutions with are easy, and not near as strong, thus the easier implementation. I did DSE, shock at the cost to get them installed right but since I did the rest of the car with that quality and need for true stabilty and traction it was worth every penny

I've been building my plain Jane '68 on a lift. To keep from marring the underside of the car, I've got 1/2" plywood wood blocks between the lift points and the car. I recently had to drop it onto the suspension and while it was on the ground, one of the wood blocks (driver's side rear) was knocked off the lift. When I went to lift the car again, I got the car about a foot in the air and noticed that the driver's side rear of the car was about 1/2" above the lift point. Then I noticed the wood block was missing.

I was reasonably inpressed with the over all chassis stiffness with the DSE SFCs.

I've done them twice. However, with a dynamatted interior, they would be a total PITA.

I've also got a '67 RS/SS. It'll get Hotchkis SFCs simply because I don't want to cut the body up on a semi-collectible car.

Any one looked into Chris Alston's connectors? They are available either way and have a center support available as well. http://www.cachassisworks.com/c-531-...gm-f-body.aspx

If you still are looking for a Hotchikis set I will see if I can find my old set and send them to you for the cost of shipping. They are fine but not DSE and you seem to agree. Yes I get the hassle. I did mine prior to the undercoating and dynamate
