Urethane vs. rubber, SFCs for dual cats

I'm looking for opinions on lower control arms/torque arms with urethane and/or rubber bushings.

Also, has anyone installed subframe connectors that clear the pipes on a dual-catalytic converter car? What brand were they and how much did they cost?

Thanks

I know there are a lot of dual catalytic converter cars out there. Doesn't anyone have subframe connectors on them?

I have the Spohn boxed-frame dual cat version of SFC's.

Check the other threads, he says he will begin selling the new tubular SFC's soon.

Thanks. I did read the thread and went to Spohn's site to check them out. I just didn't know whether they fit the dual cats.

on his site it shows the installation of the sfc on a dual cat car. the pas side connector gets smaller on the end to clear the cats.

I have the random technology torque arm with urethane bushing and was happy with the improvements in traction and adjustibility. Kind of a pain to install, but worth the effort IMO.

yeah sophn sfc's would be a great choice, and poly is a good way to go instead of rubber because it last longer.
