subframe connectors

I have an 86 IROC Z28 and I need to know what type of subframe connectors will clear my stock exhaust, and I won't have to hack into my floor pan. Any suggestions on which is the best?

I have Spohn LCAs and panhard--they're quite good. Global West SFCs fit my LG4 without modification. If you'd like pics, e-mail me directly.

I've got a 84 Z I installed S&W rails in my ride. They went in great followed the floor contours bolted in to the lower contols arms with out grindind. It took about 20 mins. a side to put them in and that's welding included.

My South Side machines subframe connectors fit up perfectly as well. They were very inexpensive and very high quality (IMHO). I've yet to see a SPOHN set though...

I did; however, have to drop the exhaust to attach the passenger side sfc. I have tried these sfc's now on three different thirdgens, one had stock exhaust and the other two were aftermarket. Everything went well...

I made mine as well, and ED was nice enough to communicate with me. I'm sure you could make your own, or have them made just as easy. If not Kenny browns and Spohns both should work great. Spohns being cheaper I believe.
