Hey, I was gonna order Alstons.. but then heard that they're
best for drag racing.

Maybe that wasnt entirely true, I wouldnt know ..

I want a set that are true bolt ons (will be welded) ..
No adding pieces of metal.. or needing extra extentions ..

Tnx

 

Here you go mang:

True bolt on, lateral AND longitudinal bracing, it looks like a pretty serious piece, seeing as how it is the only connector that goes all the way across the car.

Be our hero and tell us what it's like!

 

In case you didn't know S&W is the same company that makes the roll cages that Spohn sells, so they have quite a bit of experience and resources to know how to make excellent bracing.

The whole Alstons for drag, Spohns for handling really is just theoretical. Yes, it does make sense that compared to the width of the car, the Alstons don't go out wide enough to counteract a torsion force as well as Spohns might. Also it seems that for weight transfer and bending flex (lengthwise), the Alstons have a more direct load path than Spohns.

Given that last thread about the Alston's poor fit, I don't consider them as highly as I used to. Everyone just assumes things slip on but you have to remember that humans welded these things.

And since Spohns don't bolt on, the S&W seems better than some of the misc cookie-cutter bolt-on subframes.

 

These look real nice ...

Ill see if I can find them here.. (and for what price lol)

Tnx
