I was looking around and cant seem to find an answer so I figured what a better place to ask. Anyways I have a 00 gtp and was thinking of swapping the steel subframe for the newer aluminum one. The question I have is will the newer aluminum subframe be able to stand up and would one off of a 00 monte carlo work.Also with regards to suspension as mine seems to ride very stiff hopeing the lighter aluminum subframe will help with this. Any help is appreciated. Thanks,
 


they crack in all the corners were GM left massive gaps, and there recall fix is they fill the holes with a type of seam fill instead of aluminum welding them shut to fix the problem, i've even heard of guys using expanding foam and jb weld on em. I would recommend keeping your steel frame for sure for the amount of headaches you may endure on not only the swap over but if it does crack
