Need a shop to install subframe connectors

[TRMNTR]

Hey guys,
I'm getting ready to buy subframe connectors (MMFLSFC).

Can anyone recommend a shop to install them?

I had a local alignment shop install them on my '89 back in the day. They did fine, but if there's a Mustang shop that can do them, I might prefer that?

(I know they must have a drive on lift.)

Chad...you may have to drive a bit...but I'm pretty sure Livernois in Dearborn Heights or Alternative Automotive can get er done.

Stick with Lidio- Alternative. Professional guy who is a pleasure to work with.

Well worth the drive.

Closer to you....Stenod Performance. They do Mustangs, not soley though.

That shop's out in Troy. If I'm going that far, I'll just go to Lidio.

I'm actually thinking about having Lidio do it. I was planning to take the car there to get it tuned anway (after I get a pulley on it). So what I might do is get and install the pullies, drive it to Lidio's (no WOT), have him tune it and put the subframe connectors on.

Then I'll put the springs in, do the IRS bushings, LPW diff cover, etc, take it in for an alignment and I'll be all set.

I found a cool setup at Paul's High Performance. Subframe connectors with driveshaft loop.

I don't plan on drag racing the car much but maybe some. A driveshaft loop is nice insurance...just in case. I wasn't crazy about the idea of drilling holes through the floorplan, so this looks pretty cool. Any input?

Thinking about it, Lidio may out source the install on SFC. I know he does for exhaust welding. Give him a call. I thought Troy would be closer to you, maybe not.

I had mine done by Detroit Speedworks but they merged with Livernois Motorsports about 5 yrs ago.

Recalling previous discussions, I agree with Mike about Lidio farming it out to his favorite exhaust shop ( I don't remember the place....)

Stenod does chassis fabrication and would do a great job, I'm sure

Was it Great Lakes Customs? I do not know if that guy still does his (work since he moved).

I'm also getting info from Skinny Kid Race Cars.

They are closer than Stenod for me.

I'm sure they won't be cheap, but it would be cool to be able to say that they worked on my car.:rockon:

I do like the setup from Pauls HP with the built in drive shaft loop. No holes in the floorpan is nice.

I'm going to get a quote from Skinny Kid to see if they can do something similar.

Yes, or Paul's High Dollar if you get the SFC from them. I see Paul' wants 300or so for the install. That is double what I paid, with having my IRS brackets welded in as well.

Lidio installed my SFC last fall in his shop.

Were they weld in or bolt on?

 

[TRMNTR]

Good to know.

Skinny Kid does great work but it's way over what I need. They recommend cutting the floor, nesting them in, etc, 13-14 hrs of labor, etc. That's great for a race car but not what I need. The last thing I want to do is cut up the floor of my car.

I like Pauls connector/driveshaft loop combo but I really want the MM full length connectors.

I'm going to talk to Livernois and Lidio. Hopefully today.

Stenod did my jacking rails. Excellent work; unlike the shop that did my MMFLSFC.

Who did your mmflsfc? PM me if you'd rather not post it.

What is the word bird?

 

[utfan98]

I got your email just been busy at work

 

[TRMNTR]

I'm going to have Lidio do the sfc and tune . just waiting to talk to Doug and get the pullies .
