Default Subframe ?????'s

Well Ive been looking at subframes, I should be putting down somewhere around 420hp and I was wondering if the BMR boxed SFC's would do the trick??. And also was wondering about the rear control arms, was wondering if the boxed ones or the tubular ones were better and are the lca relocation brackets necassary.

well boxed is always stronger then tubular but most of your questions would be based on if your car is lowered. if lowered tubular gives more ground clearence. LCA's i have tubular from SPOHN and LCA relocation brackets are for when you lower the car you lose power to the ground the brackets help put the power back, ive heard of people not lowered using them too

Boxed SFC's are more structurally solid. I went with Global West tubular subframes, because you cannot see them, and honestly they should be strong enough. I went with the tubular LCA's from BMR.

I haven't bothered with the relocation brackets, my car is not lowered, and I don't want to weld them on to a rear I don't plan on keeping.

i do the BMR adj tube PHR, LCA, and subframes in most cars i do, and they seem to work very well.
for what its worth, i run the tube style Sub frames in my car still

i would also do the relocation brackets for sure, they work well.

I have the BMR Tubular, excellent, one of the first mods I did and you can't see them either.
