Subframe Connector Install done

and might i say, that was so easy to do. And they fit perfect. Several months ago I bought the bolt-in UMI 3 point tubular subframe connectors. I figure with the engine going back in, i might as well strengthen up the chassis, somethign ive wanted to do sinc ei bought the car in '01. Anyhow, today i finally got around to it. I got the car up in the air, 2 jackstands under the rear axle, and the front wheels up on stacks of wood, all so that the car would be resting on the suspension. I then just removed the Chassis TQ arm mount bolts, held the subframe up and slide it in place. I started all the bolts by hand then moved the the LCA bolt. i used a large rachet strap between the chassis and rear axle to prevent the rear from moving back when the front LCA bolt was removed. It worked perfectly. I got that side done and repeated it on the other which went even faster. I honestly dont know why i didnt buy these years ago. They didnt cost me any more ground clearence and they are tucked up right to the body AND they fit with my Spohn chassis mount TQ arm perfectly.

so, if you are thinking about doing these, i say YES. lol.
