Spohn vs KBP SFC's

I've been looking at some subframe connectors for my 91 RS Camaro, and I'm down to deciding between Kenny Brown Performance ones and Spohn. The Spohns are tubular, but the KBP's look like they're more cross-braced. Which should I go with? The Spohns are cheaper I believe...$249 for the KBP's and I believe the Spohns are around $185...quite a bit of a difference in price.

I have the older boxed SFC's from Spohn, for me the choice was a no brainer whn I compared costs. Spohn does make a good product.

The only problem I can think of with tubular SFC's is that it might be more difficult to use them as jack points, but thats not the main reason to buy them. Otherwise, I'd try to save some money if I were you.

both are great products, ANY SFC is a good mod. you won't be disapointed with either. i really like the design of the KB peice, but don't know if it is justifies the cost over spohns. because the will both REALLY stiffen your car up.

I have the Kenny Browns. I really like them. They are really well designed, especially in the rear where it welds up at the trailing arm mount.

I have a pic on my other computer that I will post later.

I had a shop do it. With taking their time and making sure everything was right, about 4 hours.
