OK, so I did a search and it seems that Spohn SFC's are the one of choice.

My question is why?

What makes them better than the ones that Hotchkis, Edelbrock, UMI etc... makes?

Is there really enough difference between them to justify an extra $100 ?

 

Well to be honest, you get what you pay for with suspension equip. Spohn does make top notch stuff. I use a few of his parts on my drag car and havebeen very happy with them.

For frame connectors, I have used the Jeg's bolt ins on 2 of my cars so far. I like to bolt them in and then drive the car to a place to have them welded along the seams.

No matter which one you go with, make sure they are welded in and it will definately make a difference.

 

umi is good

 

Thats like saying that I'm the most brilliant person in the world.

Why?

 

yea sorry dont know what i was thinking i was a 'tad' out of it when i posted at work this morning(lack of sleep and a drink or 2 when you wake up is never good) sorry about this misinfo

please be advised that umi is a good company, good prices on some of there stuff can be found on ebay or in the group purchases section if the gps are still on. https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/grou...-gp-order.html

personally the only ones to stay away from are the comp engineering(theyre a good company and local to me to boot buy the sfc is utter crap)

 

uhh... really?

Hrmmmmm

To answer the original posters question... there is no "bettre sfc" Everybody will tell you something different. There is no HARD DATA stating who makes a better sfc. If that much R&D went into sub frame connectors they wouldn't sell for $200. They'd be around 2 grand. I'd suggest doing a search, I know that gets annoying, but there's about 2 bajillion sfc threads on here. Many of which lead to being locked because people argue about this for days upon days. Just do like I do, read a LOT more than you post, and you'll end up learning way more than most of the people who run their mouths about how good something is.

 

 

"Best" has alot to do with what you would consider "good" in the first place.

What matters to you?

Weight?
Strength?
Ease of installation?
Compatibility with all possible aftermarket parts?
Price?
Appearance?
Use (drag race, street, autocross, etc.)?

And so on.

There is no one universal "best", everybody should else just pack up and go home, because they're made for different applications.

 

Spohn used to make the boxed style SFC until they change the the design to the tube type. I waited for the tube design and had very good results with the fit and clearances. I now had them for about five years.

I appreciate all the responses. wasnt looking for a which one is better, just looking for someone to justify the difference in $$ for me.

I think that spohn won out.

 

what extra 100, the spohns are 195 and the umis are 200 as most of the good connectors are around there
