Thumbs up Custom Made Sub Frame Connectors Installed; What a Improvement!

So got the car (my TTA) back yesterday from the company here in the UK after having had their custom sub frame connectors installed. First high quality work, seamless tubing TIG welded, bent to fit perfect. Also had some additional bracing installed and had them POR15 everything and then undercoat it to macth the rest of the car :-)

Anyway all I can say WHAT A DIFFERENCE !!! All the body flex is gone, all the squeks/creacks etc while driving gone due to minimal body flex. And I can really feel the suspension doing the work and not the body flexing in each corner. On a t-top car this does miricals for sure! If anyone is on doubt I can strongly recommend installing a set of SFC's.

Below please find links to pictures of the SFC's being trial fitted, done waiting to get installed, installed and treated with POR15 and finaly everything done with everything undercoated to match the rest of my car.

All the suspension work in the world is moot without a rigid platform. Looks like the got them tucked up really well.

FWIW, while not a TTA, I had a 3rd Gen that I installed a Herb Adams Reese Bar rear suspension, and Morrison front coil-over conversion on. I really liked the way it handled.....

They did a super clean job and it looks like it might have come from the factory as it really blends in when it's been undercoated/sealed. Also no clearence issues at all, we cut the THDP and move it inwards just a bit (less then 1" but that was it.

Thumbs up

Very nice fabrication of the connectors

Squeaks? I don't hear any squeaks....I'm almost deaf

Consistant workmanship is going to make your car a keeper and an awesome ride
