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

UMI makes great subframe connectors. Bolt in or weld in.

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.

Re: new market sub frame connectors

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.
Thanks Rich
