      Nova weld on subframe connector Question????

      I have a 71 nova. I am looking at a set of competition engineering weldon subframe connectors. They allow you to move the spings inboards 4 inches. I do not want to do this. My front spring perches are pretty shot and I like how the sub connecter have them already installed. Has any one used these? If so could you reverse the side and have them line up with the stock location? from the pics I see online there may be a chance that just switching sides they mount on will put the spring mount in the right spot so you dont have to move your leaf springs. Any help or input on ideas or other connectors that will work wuld be awesome. Thanks

      I have. What part of your perches are shot? The perch itself or the mounting section where you perches mount to?

      The weld on connecters do require you to move them. No way around it. Them things hang was low. Im mean real low. I would rather use bolt in ones then weld them or DSE. And fix what needs to be fixed with the perch mount.

      The drivers side were you mount the perch to is shot but the passenger side so far is looking to be ok. So you used the competition engineering weld on and switched them or you used them like they were supposed to? So If I could get them to work Do they hang down to far were it will screw up the mounting of the leaf springs?

      I've used both. On different cars.

      The weld in version was used as described.
