Say you were going to use a set of Spohn sub frame connectors that weld in along the seam of the underbody, as well as a S&W race cars 8 point roll cage/bar.

Would it be better to weld the cage directly to the subframe connectors or use the supplied plates they give you to weld it to the body?

depends on how you define better. all you need to do is weld the tubes to the plates and the plates to the floor.

I actually was trying to find out if tying it to the subframe connectors would make it a good deal more rigid than with the weld in plates that attach to the body supplied with the kit?

If I would never know the difference between the two, then no way would I cut through the floor and make a lot of extra work for myself.

Thanks

you'd never notice and if you would you need more than SFCs and a cage

Perfect, that was exactly what I needed to know.

Thanks
