Subframe Story -Long and Rambling-

Mustang92 · 01-08-2001, 12:37 PM

Just put in a set myself last weekend and noticed a big difference. These are the UPR subframe connectors which are square tubing with the re-enforcements for the seats. We welded them in the front, and sides as well leaving small gaps between 3" welds.

Of course I'm running a drag suspension for the most part and with no sway bar any tightening of the suspension is noticable. The biggest difference I noticed is that from a dead stop launch the front of the car pulls evenly instead of the left going higher than the right. We'll see how much of a difference on Wednesday for the first Test and Tune of 2001.
