[QUOTE="dogmush, post: 4606840, member: 43147"] No, I actually had to cut the subframes off my GT and reweld them because a shop told me this. The suspension must be loaded because of BODY flex. if the wieght of the car is not sitting on the suspension points the body will be flexed differently, and you will weld that flex in. The car MUST be sitting on it's tires or the unibody won't be in the right position. FYI, jackstands on the contol arms won't work either, the change in leverage position redistributes the wieght between the springs and mounting bushings and the car won't sit right. Ask me how I know that one too. [/QUOTE]
