I know that you need to load the suspension before welding on subframe connectors. I have some new upper/lower control arms that I eventually plan on adding to my project car. Will it be okay to weld in the subframe while the stock suspension is in there still or would it be best to put the new c/a's in and then weld up subframes? They are full length.

Thanks :SNSign:

you will be fine installing the subframes without the new LCA/UCA's, as long as the suspension is loaded

Correct, The control arms won't effect the weight of the car (on the suspension) to make a difference.

Think of it this way: SFC's are typically the first modification for a Fox Mustang. LCA's and UCA's generally get installed after all of the time.
