Big A Posted August 10, 2008 Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 I have been looking into some weld in Subframe Connectors for my 98 camaro. I was wondering what some of you guys are using or would suggest? Any problems with them, ground clearance issues, ect? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrMeanGreen Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 That is them. http://www.bmrfabrication.com/F-bodyChassis.htm Order from BMR and mention you're a Central Ohio F-Body member, (although defunct now, which they don't know about) and get 10% off.

Big A Posted August 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 Is it true that the Boxed design is stronger? I recall seeing that on ls1tech somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cordell Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 Is it true that the Boxed design is stronger? I recall seeing that on ls1tech somewhere. Marginally. That is what i've got, worked great. The UMI double diamonds fit well also if you are looking for some extra "strength" and weight. Tubular or boxed designs are great, the simple ones BMR makes are all most people will ever need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrMeanGreen Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 Boxed are structurally stronger, but have about 1" less ground clearance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cordell Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 Boxed are structurally stronger, but have about 1" less ground clearance. Well I never scraped anything until the day I put my headers on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big A Posted August 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 Thanks for the help. After more reading and what you guys have said, it looks like BMR tubulars is what I'm going to go with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big A Posted August 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 Clutch first? Winter, I just want to do the cam whenever he gets his out. Then drive the car the rest of summer and save up for the clutch, inless it starts slipping real bad after the cam then it might be sooner.

V8 Beast Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 I agree on Umi. Everything I have under my car is from them and it all fits perfectly.
