new market sub frame connectors
Just curious if there are any new design sub frame connectors in the market. I will be doing an engine swap and i do not see myself ever going over 450 hp. with this car. I have been looking at allot of older posts and I am not sure what to go with. I will be having them installed but i still am looking for less complicated but quality built and painted.
Thanks Rich

The newest to the game are the DSE units. They require a lot of fab work but are the best on the market by far.

I put spohn's in my car, I ended up making landings for where the front of them weld to the subframe because I wasn't a fan of how the tube is supposed to weld to the front subframe area. If my car didn't already have spohn everything else I probably would have went with UMI subframe connectors.

I think that I am going to go with UMI for most of my conversion and the frame connectors look like high quality. I was just thinking that they might be overkill for what i will have for power but in general it sounds like handling will be better.
