yep

i just saw that, and thats a good big plus. Do you have longtubes on it and if so do they scrape?

i dont have on long tubes, i have some sitting here i havent put on yet. I do have 3 point SFC's which i would suggest getting because when i do scrape it hits the sfc's and no damage to the car is done

**reaper ws6** · 01-15-2011, 09:09 AM

thats a pretty good idea but im not sure what they are and were to get them

sub frame connectors are just supports that you weld or bolt on under the car that stiffen up the frame, i bought UMI 3 point weld ins. i think UMI is a sight sponser

**reaper ws6** · 01-15-2011, 07:27 PM

oooh you mean subframe connectors lolz sorry i dint understand at firts

yeah im thinking off getting some in the future. Do they really help out the car as much as people say they do? and how?

i thought they made a huge difference the car just felt stiffer. before if i pulled out of a road or took a sharp turn under acceleration the inside back tire would spin very easily because of the frame twisting but now it holds that inside tire down nicely

**reaper ws6** · 01-16-2011, 08:47 AM

that happens to me two like if the back wants to step out or fishtell under sharp turns with acceleration... ummm now that you mention it since i'm starting to do my suspension, some subframe connectors is not a bad idea...thanks bro

**davidz28** · 01-16-2011, 04:43 PM

no problem, just stick with UMI and you will be happy their stuff is a little more expensive but i have UMI sfc's, panhard bar, sway bars, relocation brackets, and a strut tower brace and all of it has fit perfect
