Frame connectors question
 
At some point if I get into Autocross, I assume I will need frame connectors. My front clip is disassembled right now and I just installed the new poly radiator support bushings.

My question is, if I am going to install frame connectors at some point, will I need to install solid body bushings, now is the time to do that I suppose? I already did the other body bushings with new poly as well, and they are much stiffer than my rotted out stock! But I guess I could always redo them if need be. Just trying to think ahead.

thanks

Yup do it now. The poly ones kinda suck anyways so it's like killing 2 birds with one stone.

Yep do the bushing THEN the Connectors OR both at the same time...

Yes go solid now. If you think aboout it the rear of the subframe connectors will be welded/bolted directly to the structure and if the front mount is attached to a subframe that moves you will eventually crack the welds. Anyways if you want to reduce flex with subframe connectors it goes hand and hand.

I like the ones from Dave at Pro-touring fbody and the ones from Global West.
