Subframe Connectors

Which subframe connectors are the best? I did a search and people are saying that the alston racing bolt-in sfcs are pretty nice. I'm thinking of getting these and bolting and welding them in. What do you think?

Thanks
Leigh

I used South Side Machine, they were only $165.00 from Summit Racing, and they welded on with out a problem. I did alot of research before I chose these, for fear of modifying the floor pan, ect., these were recommended by a great percentage, and I was very happy with them, no modification needed. I did, however, have to enlongate the LCA bolt hole on each connector by a small bit, no big deal, I hope this helps.

I have installed two sets of Alston Racing SFC's and have not had any problems yet except I could only get one bolt into the front of one side, this was OK however because I welded them on anyway. I never had to modify the floor plan.

I just finished having a GP on those SFCs along with everything else that S&W makes for our cars and I got one response from somebody the day after I closed the GP...... We could have gotten some smoken deals through them but instead my buddy and I were the only ones that got in on the deal .

Mine should be here by the end of the week so I can let you know what the craftsmanship and fit is like (I have no doubt that it will be top notch by the way).
