Re: subframe connectors

When I bought mine I went looking at the individual designs of them. They are all more or less the same with a few differences here and there in terms of connect points. You can get boxed or tubular. I think the boxed sub-frame connectors are easier to weld in personally. There are the S&W, Mac and Alston designs which are the only radically different sub-frame connectors from the rest. You can use the Mac sub-frame connectors along side conventional designs as they mount to a different area. Few have the S&W sub-frame connectors but they connect at some 8 points or something on the underside of the car. Those seem like the best design but they look like they could complicate exhaust routing or the installation of some components. That's just a guess from pictures I've seen in the past. I'm not actually sure as I've never seen them in person. Given their multiple connection points those are probably the single most solid design out there. If you aren't going to be welding these in yourself you need to think about installation cost. The more complex S&W sub-frames will cost more to have welded in than the normal sub-frame connectors will.

I think the ones I purchased were the BMR version.

Re: subframe connectors

What are the best SFC?? All of them. But to be the best they must be WELDED in correctly.
