Please read the following key points before installing this kit.

1 – Before performing the subframe connector installation, the vehicle must be completely

assembled with all body and component parts installed (e.g. fenders, hood, quarterpanels,

trunk, full interior, engine, glass, etc.). Basically, the subframe connectors should be one of

the last components installed on your vehicle. Reason being is you want the vehicle settled

with all of it’s own final weight. The car’s body is always in constant tension, with forces

pushing or pulling within the chassis & body. You want to make sure these forces don’t

change after you install the subframe connectors. For example, if you installed subframe

connectors before installing the engine and body panels this may result in having misaligned

fenders, door panels and/or hood later on. The car must be in it’s final state before the

subframe connectors are installed.

2 – Make sure your front subframe is aligned with the body before you installed the subframe

connectors. This can be done in many ways e.g. use alignment holes in the body (

see

pictures

) or using a chassis jig. Note: When using a full chassis jig, the alignment holes for

the rear

frame rails are needed to square the body and front subframe. If you install the

subframe connectors before you do this, you will not have access to these alignment holes.

This is one of the reason why you should square the front subframe before installation.

3 – The subframe connectors must be installed on an alignment rack or floor ramps (all 4

wheels). The vehicle must be sitting on it’s wheels at ride height in order to install the

subframe connectors. Do not use a two-post lift, as this will load the chassis/body in the

wrong points causing the chassis to tweak.
