Had the Hans Racecraft SFC's welded in at Chicken's Customs in Worcester yesterday. They did great job and the car feels much tighter now. Definitely a worthwhile mod. :beer:

You got that right, much needed in the convertible. I'm impressed with the Hans design much better than the single connector I had in my old 99 vert.

John,
I had Precision Motorsports in Milford, MA install HANS on mine this past Monday. They made a night and day difference on my car as well (also a Vert). Enjoy!

What did Precision charge? They wanted 8 hours to do my MM subs. I passed.

Tom had estimated the same amount of time for my HANS (over the phone) but ended up only charging me for six. I went there on the recommendation of a fellow NE-SVT member; I'm glad I did. I really didn’t know what to expect when I got there (it's an out of the way shop) but I felt very comfortable after meeting him and getting a tour of the shop. I’ll probably have him do my suspension work; they know their stuff. I’d suggest you give them a second look if you plan on doing any other mods…
What were some prices?? I bought mine 3 months ago and still have not installed them yet. Steeda wants $230 for 2.5 hours of labor. I know it is very important to have them done correctly (i.e. measured, welded on flat lift, etc.) so the car sits right, but is that much money worth the job?? :shrug:
BTW- nice picture in the sig. My Brother is best friends with Johnny, and I helped him move all that stuff into his house. Even washed/waxed his porsche and his g/f's sebring..but anyways...............

Flat rate of $65/hour...way less than the $92/hr Steeda wants to charge you. They measured from multiple points before and after the welding...it was done right.
Was this a performance shop, welder, or jsut a muffler shop?? I just want to make sure it's not a you get what you pay for sort of deal, but Steeda has done alot and warranties there work. I may have to shop around more. Don't they add like 30 lbs to your car too??
no pics?
The install was performed by a race shop, not a muffler installer. They prepped everyting before hand and painted/undercoated all the welds post install. The HANS units did add weight to the car but I'm not racing it. My main concern was improving the car/ride, the HANS have done that. Good luck with your install; you'll be amazed at the improvement they make.
PS - I forgot to bring my camera long so no pix. I'll see if I can shoot them with the car up on ramps but I doubt I'll be able to get them in frame.

Full length subframes makes the car feel so much different!
