QA1 Bolt-On Subframe Connectors

The 1967-69 F-body was designed in an era when high performance driving and modern tire technology weren't as prevalent.

They tackle the flex issue by increasing frame rigidity, leading to a significant improvement in handling performance—especially during cornering, acceleration, and braking. The tubular design connects the front Camaro/Firebird subframe to the rear subframe, providing additional structural support and stiffness to the chassis. Additional details: * Included solid body mounts and hardware further reduce chassis flex. Their aluminum construction offers a noise-free alternative to polyurethane. * Thoughtful design: The QA1 subframe connector contours to follow the body lines for a factory-like look without sacrificing ground clearance. * Easy bolt-in installation makes the upgrade hassle-free. * Fitment notes: Does not fit convertibles.
