which sfc???

Which subframe connector is best used on third gens?

I have a buddy that has mac subframe connectors, And he has a really big problem with clearance issues. I would like something that will have alot of ground clearance so that in the future i can lower my car and still be abil to go over a speed bump well.

I dont mined the price to much, please get back to me asap.

-Eric

The Spohns I got fit up higher than the exhaust.

Weld-in are typically considered superior to bolt-in.

I have been told that sphons are really good, and are a good way to spend money on your chassis.

spohns here. Welded in quite easly (except that brace around the cat). Doors open and closed easier. Noticed less body flex.

From my readings, if you plan to drag it, get boxed. Daily use/auto-x, you want round.

I want to drag but not too much, will drag just to now what it is doing. But will drive daily, and i am really into drifting, so more for that. So what do I should use?

Your "seat of the pants feel" will not be able to tell the difference between any of the weld in type out there. Your selection should be based on exhaust choice and budget.

I got a set of Alston's and love them. East to install, and just look stronger than most I have seen.

And, Alston is GREAT if you have any questions...great tech support....
