I installed Hotchkis subframe connectors a while back, before I new the advantages of torque boxes.
 
Has anyone, or does anyone know if the US Car Tool Torque boxes will work or can be made to work with Hotchkis subframes?
Are there torque boxes from any other brand that will work?

If modifications have to be made, any photos would be awesome.

Thanks in advance.

I did the same as you with my Charger and didn't think add them till later. It can be done though, Hotchkis has updated their subframe connector instructions that show how to do it. It requires trimming the torque box and welding the bolts to the subframe connectors rear mount.
