    subframe out....what the do before i paint it up

    Taking my rear subframe out, gonna have it blasted and eventually painted/powdercoated....just curious as to anything I should weld onto it before painting it and what not.

    I will be putting in the camber/toe kits so I got that all set, but is there anywhere to weld some extra metal? Dont really wanna spend money on a kit as I have a bunch of stock and tools to cut it, but figured while its out might as well weld some shit up to it. I eventually plan on putting a ST sway bar kit front and rear, anything I should weld for that in the rear?

    The front wont be done for a month or so, so I'm just focusing on the rear. I read some threads but couldnt really decipher anything specific. thanks

    The only welding appropriate for a rear subframe would be the weld-in camber/toe adjusters.
    The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

      You could also do the sway bar tabs on the trailing arms.
