Summit Racing™ steel transmission crossmembers allow you to run a true dual-exhaust system with most popular GM transmissions. They have a patented double-hump design, so you don't have to compromise ground clearance by running pipes under the crossmember, and they're a complete bolt-on deal—no custom fabricating or realignment is needed. The parts are made from 1/8 in. thick boxed tubing to handle the frame-twisting power of big blocks. Order the crossmember recommended for your vehicle and transmission application.

UMI Performance boxed weld-in subframe connectors are necessary chassis upgrades when racing and hard driving habits are present. UMI Performance boxed weld-in subframe connectors greatly improve your car's handling ability, while reducing T-top squeaks, dash rattles, and quarter-panel flexing. Subframe connectors essentially tie the front and rear steel subframes together, resulting in a stiffened and strengthened chassis, allowing for better weight transfer and improved traction when launching. When strength is a concern, square tubing has greater torsion resistance over tubular designs. They will work with all aftermarket exhaust systems and will not affect ground clearance. Their weld-in style requires no bolts to tighten and offer less chance of flex when compared with bolt-in types.

QA1's tubular K-member for the 1982-1992 Chevrolet Camaro/Pontiac Firebird (F-body) is a significant front-end upgrade. Designed for reduced weight and increased clearance for headers and oil pans, QA1's K-members make a great upgrade for both street performance and track vehicles. QA1's engineers prioritized superior strength when designing these K-member components which reinforces the front-end unibody structure while optimizing weight savings. Unlike other K-members that lock you into a single setup, QA1 K-members offer unmatched versatility with their modular engine mounts (sold separately) that let you switch between engines and transmissions without needing a new K-member. No other K-member offers this level of adaptability, making QA1 the ultimate choice for a seamless build. The K-members offer the flexibility to be used with either coilover struts or QA1 spring sliders, depending on your performance goals. Coilover struts, like QA1's adjustable Proma Star Struts, can also provide a significant performance boost for your 3rd Gen Camaro or Firebird with the ability dial-in the perfect ride height. For those looking to achieve the perfect stance with greater negative camber, while accommodating wider wheels and tires, inboard spring sliders by QA1 are another great option. The inboard spring slider option also helps to maintain spring loads near the factory position on the QA1 K-member. Features and benefits: * Steel suspension subframe crossmember * High-strength design with powdercoat finish * The unique design of QA1's K-members allows the use of interchangeable engine mounts (sold separately) for easy engine swaps—choose from modular engine mounts (sold separately) that either allow you to reuse your existing small block engine and transmission combination or swap to a big block Chevy, or more modern LS and Gen V LT * Substantial weight savings—shedding 32 lbs. while increasing clearance and enhancing accessibility to the front of your car, this is an ideal upgrade! * Compatible with QA1' spring sliders or QA1's coilover struts (sold separately) * You can make your driveline swap even easier by using QA1's transmission crossmembers and torque arms (both sold separately) * Bolt-in installation—QA1's commitment to thoughtful product design is evident in their fully bolt-in kits, providing an easy installation process Fitment Notes: Must use QA1 lower control arms (sold separately). Not compatible with factory coil springs. Must use QA1 coilover struts or QA1 spring slider kit (both sold separately). Engine mounts sold separately.

One of the most effective ways to improve the stiffness and handling of your vehicle is to box the factory chassis. Hellwig Frame FX kits makes it easy for you. Rather than taking considerable time with measuring, cutting, and fitting steel panels these kits simplify the process effectively. Some vehicles have an open C-channel chassis that's only 3 in. wide at the top and bottom. This design is inherently weak in handling torsion and marginal in bending. Frame FX kits double the width of the tension side of the frame rail and close the area for dramatic increases in torsional and bending stiffness. They're comprised of 14 pre-cut 10-gauge steel panels matching the thickness of the factory frame--and fit into the weak points of the factory chassis. Hellwig engineered another panel that adds an extra mount to tie the floor to the chassis, furnishing even more strength to the entire car. In addition, brackets are provided to mount the transmission crossmember, with enough adjustment to accommodate nearly any drivetrain configuration. The increased strength via Hellwig Frame FX kits results in improved handling and ride quality, while retaining the factory chassis and mounting points.
