What do you think, good idea or just a waste of time?

What do you think, good idea or just a waste of time?

well you got to explain your self....what would it be for?

[LXi87Accord]

I looking to start doing drag racing and just looking to stop all the flex that the hatch has. I was thinking something like this

justin 86 made a few of there... i have the front one on my car and i love it... i am gonna put the rear on as soon as i get the chance to pull my exhaust and stuff

[mkymonkey]

yeah he made something like this and they're back on sale i believe. but i dont know if they connect to the frame or suspension parts.

sub fram conectors go on the bottom of the car more in the middle to stop frame flex ive never seen one on a fwd normaly rwd

[LXi87Accord]

I was thinking if I had one and tower braces it would really reduce body twist.

[ghettogeddy]

it might if your hard core auto x

look up ericw's threads he has one on his car i think and posted some pics. im at work and dont want to do it....ok im just lazy

[mkymonkey]

[Cheeseburger]

yeah i also got a set from justin...im not in a hurry tho since he has to do like 5 or 6 orders...plus i still need to put in my SEi rear disk set up on.

yes they do help. If you don't want to cage the car then a subframe connector is a good idea other wise a well bult cage will work better then just that connector. The reason I never built one like that was do to that it would never be a (bolt-on) and shipping would be a bitch.

has anyone ever considered making solid front bumper mounts? or welding up the ones we have solid? since this car has a big ass steel bumper under the plastic this would tie the front frame rails together like a big tie bar. the rear already bolts the steel bar directly to the frame,at least on the hatch.

I got lowering springs and struts....I'll just order a subframe connector and hack it up or even have one made.

I'm gonna do mine by extending the front frame rails under the floor pan so they connect with the rear frame rails. I find most of the flex occurs at the bottom rear corner of the door openings, where the rear frame rails end.

Something like this would be nice for the rear:

that is a good idea to incorporate into a rear strut tower bar, but isn't a "true" subframe connector. you want to tie together the front and rear subframes via the floor pan rails or a cage.
