SFC's Who makes the Lightest Sub Frame connectors, What's the best?
I am looking at Spohn Chromoly 2 pt weld in, BMR steel weld in 2pt, and UMI 3pt weld in/SLP 3 pt weld in (umi comes powdercoated and has moly option)
Thoughts? suggestions?

I have UMI 2pt tubular. I bought mine a few years back. Mine are std mild steel. I know now UMI offers chrome molly which will be lighter. UMI has chrome molly 3pt option also. I loved my UMI sfc's. All my suspension components are UMI and I love all of it. Great quality. As far as 2pt or 3pt being better I don't know but I'm sure someone else will.

thx for the opinion. The Only UMI I have is my moly stb, everything else is moly BMR
its pretty much between the Spohn moly 2pt and UMI 3pt moly unless the SLP steel are better.

I have SLP 3 pt weld ins in both my cars and I love them they weigh about 35#s - 40#s for the pair so their not going to be as light as moly but the way they tie the whole car together is great. My cars are dd so I'm not to worried about the extra 35- 40 pounds.

I have bmr evrything but i think they all do the same at getting the job done. I would go with the cheapest one because all three companies are proven to work.Whatever you do do not get any type of bolt in versions because after a while they destroy the bolt holes so bad until you will have to ge them welded in eventually.

Good as in? SLP steel weighs 35+ reportedly, and Spohns' 2pt weigh 13lbs for the pair.
no idea on chromoly umi 3pt.
I think I'm going to grab the Spohn.

thanks guys, now that I have all the data, its time to decide 
2pt moly/2pt boxed, I am assuming the added strength of moly tubular will level the field (and match the rest of my stuff) with larger boxed mild steel sfcs?
shipping is nuts on 3pt!!
