Sub-frame connectors... Please build them correctly!

What is interesting to me here, is the amount of people saying that there is so much flex in these cars. Its obviously a known problem, but to notice a difference from just the little bit of added strength from the floating type of connectors is pretty crazy.
*Thats not sarcasm or disbelief. Its truly crazy that they flex so damn much.

Take an a body that leaves reasonably hard to the track and see how much the car flexes. It's huge. Put a set of do nothing connectors on and see what happens. Normally the cars, even with the extra weight, go faster, especially in the first 60' because the torsional rigidity is increased and transferring the power to the ground. It's not being wasted flexing the body.

I'd love to do a side by side to see if the floor pan tied really helped the 60'.

I have 2x2 .083 connectors on my current build car and have used anything from 2x3 .120 and smaller. All have made big improvements in performance.

It's so much fun to have the left front fender a foot higher than the right front! Not... LOL
