Pics of Your Sub Frame Connectors

Does Anybody have any picsof your sub-frame connectors? I'm trying to find out which brand is the best one to buy I'm looking foward to bolting them in and welding them for that extra strength. My car tends to lift the drivers side front tire when I launch about 1/2 an inch and I KNOW for a fact that I'm twisting my frame or uni-body TA.
Any pics would really be helpful. Thanks,

Eric.............

Made my own, don't have any installed pics though. Noticed the car doesn't creek and groan like it used to pulling in and out of my driveway.

I found these from BMI performance for 199.99 dollars.
Thanks for the pics gives me a good idea of what to expect. Did anyone have any trouble with their exhaust,Ive got 3inch on mine from the Y-pipe to the muffler?

Thanks,
Eric.......

My SFC's

Their from S and W racecars in Springcity, PA , they are bolt in or weld in or u can do both, they fit awesome, and have the option on the crossmember to mount their adj. torque arm which is sweet in it self, you can buy a whole kit which includes all that plus their lower control arms and panhard rod too for around 850.00, thats a little high for some poeple, I found mine at a local swap meet for 400.00 and couldn't pass it up. It connects front and rear subs and connects from rocker to rocker also and has a built in driveshaft loop. Its a very nice setup, u can buy it piece by piece too. Check out SandWracecars.com !

There are some pictures of my Competition Engineering bolt on SFC's up on webshots. I don't have a link because I'm at work, however you can look up my name. It's KZad88. There should be a folder with a bunch of pics from the install. www.webshots.com
