Author Topic: Installed sub-frame connoctors today BadWS6 1st Gear Member # 1799 posted                       My Wife purchased a set of Don Goets bolt on sub-frame coccectors for me as a 24th year anniversary gift. I just finished installing them ( took a little more than two hours). Don's instructions,product and customer service are second to none. The connectors arrived yesterday and one of the nuts and bolts were missing. I wanted them on before the picnic but I understand things happen. We called Don late yesterday afternoon and he said he would get the missing part right out. this morning the bolt and nut are on the front porch (Thats service). So I read thru the instructions and stsrt the install on the passeger side. I will be dammed the forward bolt hole dosent line up, on closer inspection iT'S not the connector that is miss-aligned it's the several layers of channel thet GM did not bother to line up. So after a little creative grinding on the frame channel everything went tougether fine. Don's instructions said that I may have to relocate or adjust the fuel lines. All I had to do was cut the factory zip tie and slide the factory plactic wire loom back into the frame about 1/2 inch. As a added benefit the fuel lines are now protected be the sub-frame connector rather than the thin plactic. I took the car out for a short drive WOW you wouldn't believe the difference 90% in moans and groans now gone(That alone was worth the price) also the Bird seems to corner flatter In short I am very impressed Thanks Don PS and thanks Sandy -------------------- Bob and Sandy Wentzel 1997 WS6 Trans Am Conv. 1 of 463 SLP fan switch D.Goetz sub-frame connectors Just say NO to street racing Posts: 67 | From: Southern CA | Registered: Jan 2003  |  IP: Logged BadRag 2nd Gear Member # 1566 posted                       looking forward to checking them out tomorrow !!
