chassis engineering subframe connectors

http://www.chassisengineering.com/sh...Id=1545#BuyNow

anyone used these subframe connectors?
if so, is it a "you get what you pay for" deal or are they legit?

thanks

Re: chassis engineering subframe connectors

Note that the following was taken directly from the link you posted.

Quote:
If you race a uni-body car, the use of subframe connectors is absolutely essential. Uni-body chassis’ can suffer severe flex and twist when launched. Our WELD- IN connectors are made from mild steel and precision formed to fit without modifications to the floor or other factory components while increasing the chassis stiffness necessary for a consistent working suspension. Installation can be done in half the time of other connectors. Bolt-in connectors just simply can't provide the same degree of stiffness and get looser with every launch.
I don't know about you, but based on the picture at the link you posted (granted it was for a 1st gen) and that statement above, I'm thinking half the installation time means half the contact points, which means half as strong.

Re: chassis engineering subframe connectors

Look at Art Morrison racing. I'm doing his full frame under my 70 Nova. I think he has sub connectors.
