Best Subframe Connectors?

Who makes the best sub frame connectors in terms of ridgidity? I need a solid foundation for my third gen. I want the best of the best, price is unimportant, solid handling is. I wasn't sure if the other replies below about subframe conn applied to this question since that person was looking for an economic set.

RK Sports, "Double Diamonds" kick major butt. Stiff as hell. When I pull into my driveway the car is soo tight that I will pick up one of the rear tires as I go in. Be sure though that you have them welded in. Those bolt ons are ****.

Well, I have a t-topped '91 T/A with Kenny Brown SFCs. Those are what Spyder is referring to. I recently bought a '91 GTA hardtop, and I'm putting in two sets of SFCs at once (they don't interfere with each other), Global West and Alston. From my experience, KB are the best SFC on their own. But, if you're willing to pay and install 2, the other setup should be even stronger. However, the Alston/GW on their own aren't as good as the KB. Especially the Alstons, which don't connect the subframe along the outside rocker rail which really helps torsional stiffness.

i recently purchased the sfc from chassiseng for $80.....then i paid $25 to send them back....they require you to cut the floor pans in your 3rdgen...if youve got a nice daily driver i would spend the cash and buy spohn.....if youve got a serious racer.....cut the floor pans and pay $80....hope this helps....
