granitelli or bbk subframes?

[jmd2914]

im about to order my subframes i just need to know which kind i should get, these were pretty much my two options. anyone have any good/bad experiances with either of these products?

 

[jmd2914]

bump......anyone?

if you want some quality subframes, go with something cr-moly...i think steeda makes a set with seat supports for $125

 

[txstang84]

my mistake, steeda makes some that are cr-moly, but not with supports for $120, i just looked on the website, but the ones they carry with seat support brackets don't say what material they're made from for $160

 

[jmd2914]

i just need a decent subframe for about $100

Yep, as long as they are weld-ins, you will be fine.

so bold ins are a bad idea? and ont that subject, both are weld ins but the bbk have the bolt in optoin but id rather have them welded. what are the seat support brackets for? and are they worth the extra money?

Yeah bolt ins are a bad idea, since they will still flex. The seat bracket tie on to the seat bolts for more support; don't know if they are worth the money since I have never used SFC without the seat support.

The way I look at it, the seat bolts are only there so that you can use the bolts to pull the connectors up tight to the subframes and make them ready for welding. The Kenny Brown connectors I installed have those seat bolt provisions. It's pretty convienient to get everything into postion prior to welding and know that it's as tight to the subframes as it can get before you start melting metal to metal.

alright about how much will it cost to get these welded on at a local muffler shop?

 

[Daggar]

had mine MIG welded for $50. I got the "Good Ole Boy" discount.

I went with the kenny browns as well, striaght off the website they are 99$. and they are SWEET. A guy welded them in for me at a machine shop down the way here for 75 dollars.
