I got mine in 2 days and as you can see in my signature I'm up in Canada. My garage isn't heated and because winter is here now my SS won't see the outside for about another 4 months. There will be some days when the outside warms up enough to make the garage comfortible to work in. I have an old snowmobile suit that helps when I'm laying on the floor. I like the way Don signs the connectors, it's a good touch, too bad one has to be under the car to see it, but it adds a little touch of class to our cars. The next 4 to 5 months will seem to go slow now so I can get out to try the car with the connectors. Maybe I've been lucky, but mine has never had a rattle, squeek, or groan and does have 26,000 kms. on her, so the connectors will help keep her that way. Thanks again Don.

Well I got mine put on this afternoon and although my car has been tight always I sure could tell the difference in the 2 mile drive home From Wesleys house where we put them on. They look great and the fit was perfect everything bolted right up and all the bolts went right in without having to slot anything. The weather is nice here so I am going into town in awhile to drive it some.

Don, I got my SS convertible out from storage for the winter and was able to try out the SFC's. When I backed out of the drive and onto the road I heard a click sound from the passenger side. I drove it for a bit and heard the same sound a few times over a few bumps. I returned home and tightened up the bolt that goes through the lower control arm and no more clicking. The car feels tighter around corners. I've always loved to shut off the traction control on dry pavement and just give her a little shot on the gas and let the back slide into position going around corners in town when it is safe to do so and now the car feels like it's more one solid piece. You did a great job making these. Thanks, Dave Bart

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

It's raining today and tomorrow if it's nice tomorrow I'll do a little more testing. My car never had any rattles or noise of any kind but I know she is tighter and the SFC's will keep it that way. Several years ago I was in Florida on a course and I was in stop and go traffic in a rental and I could hear a car coming up through traffic and when I saw it, it was a Viper and that thing moved in and out like it was glued to the road. I'm sure the guy driving it also had some skill. My SS now feels like the way I saw that Viper move.

Clicks and pops mean something is loose. You did the right thing by tightening the LCA bolts. It always seems to come from the passenger side.
