Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications Suspension Sub-Frames Installed

Ryan,

Thanks for the reply. Did you notice if the subframe connectors got rid of any squeaks or rattles, especially when going over bumps?

Thanks,

George

Well unfortunately I can't say for sure as I seem to have a pretty big problem in the rear suspension that is producing some horrible noises (no it does not seem to be the sway bar or have anything to do with the subframe connectors)

Once I get the bigger problem dealt with I'll let you know if the subframe connectors help out in that department!

I did have to "modify" the floor pan in two spots near the rear of the car. The connectors rubbed the floor just slightly. I had mine put in at a local muffler shop, since you have to use a drive-on lift. By this time tomorrow i'll have my KYB's and H&R's installed. Should be alot of fun.

I had my car dropped with Eibachs. Had it aligned twice now. The second time was yesterday. I just put new tires on the front about 3 months ago. They are worn ALOT more on the inside. I can't afford to replace tires every 4 months. The second time I had it aligned, I took it to a performance shop hoping they could figure it out. Of course their machine aligned it to factory specs as well. They guy who did it said the inner wear was not caused by lowering the car, the camber was within spec, the camber wasn't even adjustable, and too much toe could cause the tires to wear that way. The toe was out of spec, which he corrected. I'm hoping that will fix it. Does this guy seem to know what he is talking about? What are my options besides putting the stock springs on? Please help!!!!

I must be losing it. I thought this started out talking about lowering and now it seems to have changed. I will post again.
