SFCs

while my car is down I need to get some subframe connectors. who has what? im looking for some that DOES NOT require any mods or relocation of suspension ect. they need to be bolt in too.which brings me to the next question.can I weld them up later ? chime in boys,who bought what brand and how was it? oh, whats this business about moving fuel lines and drilling holes?? how come you guys use 2 different kinds of SFCs at once?? am I confused?? doesent anybody make some that's one and done?? I need to stiffen it up adequately without re engineering the whole car

Alston makes nice, low profile frame ties. They're reasonably priced too.

so ,whats the deal with the ones that run along side the body? and the ones that merely connect the sub frames?? do you need to buy both kinds to have it be adequate?? so you need to buy two different designed sets?? like the BMRs and the alstons?? the more I read ,the more it just seems like a big PITA

so in reading the stickies it seems to me that BMRs and alstons together make for the best set up. and cost be damned

Re: SFCs

For your car I'd slap in the Alston ones first. If you start doing auto cross, add the BMR's.
