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.

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.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world.
