id go with solid ones like the steeda zinc coated full length.

besides, whats the point of them being weld in if they are black powdercoat??

I wouldnt have a problem with them not being solid if they were using a good thick metal. I wonder how thick it is when shipping is only $20. I would think as long as those are if they were using a quality steel they would be pretty heavy. We mad our own on my buddys convertible. Took some roll bar tubing welded it in. It made all the difference in the worl on that car.

i can get these without powdercoating too... they come bare for 32.95 i think. where does it say they arent solid? you can see a weld on the cross section :ne_nau: im just thinking the subframes would be a nice addition to these

dont cheap out on suspension IMO

"These are heavy gauge square tubing and come Powdercoated in Black."
Tubing = not solid

Because in the pic you can see that they are hollow. Which to me is fine seeing that roll cage tubing is also hollow. Just make sure they are using a heavy gauge steel.

so subframes are solid 1x2 or 2x2 pieces of steel?

are these solid?

No, no subframes are solid. They are usually rectangular or round tubular steel. I make mine out of 1x2, .125" mild steel and build them to fit. Any are better than none, but full lengths are better, and I like to have the cross brace under the seat bolts, and when equipped, tie them into the driveshaft loop, or rather, vice-versa.

thats what i was thinking... why would someone add a piece of SOLID 1x2 or 2x2 steel. that'd be like 10-15 lbs a piece or more :ne_nau:

you make SFC's? how much... installed? i'll buy the steel

btw, the car is starting to come together. ive got to make a trip to talesomethin (near Tulsa, I think) to pick up my fender(s) and hood. im still looking at choices on headlights (might replace the cracked header panel too). it wont be much longer and i'll be able to go test that chip and tune at the track

Nope, same steel I use.
