  • subframes installation time

    I was curious my car is at the shop right now and they told me it would take most of the day to get the subframes welded on in position. Anybody here have any experience with these. Any times of how long it may have taken you guys to weld on full daimonds? Thanks!

      From what I have heard, you would want to pull up the carpet in the areas inside the car where the welding is gonna be...etc. Maybe them taking their time is a good thing..

        I've seen 2 installs. Should take about 1-2 hours depending on how familiar they are with them. Never had to take up the carpet.

          Thanks for the replies guys. They are still working on them as of right now but I have been told they will be done soon. I am excited about the drive home. I also just had a new panhard bar, torque arm, and lower control arms installed as well.

            Which ones did you get?

            You will be amazed at the difference it makes.

            It's time for you to make your signature with all of your mods.

              I have the slp subframes. The panhard bar and the lower control arms are by umi performance. The torque arm is by edelbrock.

                I installed the SLP bolt-in sfc's. The bolt holes did not match 100% and had to drill the holes out to match the misalignment. With you just having them welded in, this won't be a problem for your installed, just make sure that no carpet will burn ! during the welding
