They say the "weld-ons" are alot better than bolt on's. I am probably going to go with BMR myself.

I like the 3 point design like the SLP (and there is at least one other) myself. They are a bit heavier but I think they have a slight advantage in helping with chasis flex, which is what they are supposed to do. If you go SLP, the bolt ins and weld ins are exactly the same except the bolt ins come powder coated and with the mounting hardware and the weld ins come plain and will need to be at least painted. Buy the bolt ins and you can still weld them in if you want to and then you just have to touch up the welded areas with paint. I have mine bolted in right now and so far haven't fealt the need to weld them.

subframes are subframes are subframes...just get some damn subframes, it doesn't really matter which, they all will do about the same in the long run.

gotta disagree here, you get more ground clearance w/ tubular's but boxed ones are stronger, also theres a big difference between 2pt and 3pt sfc's.

I went with Spohn chrome moly tubular's. Weigh 25% less than steel, and they are 50% stronger.
Tuck up nice and tight too, can't see 'em unless your looking under the car.

I like the way the Spohn tubulars tuck up nice like Bad Mojo said... but on the other hand, I like the boxed BMR's because you can use them as a jacking point... Hard choice, but you can't lose with either.

I dont know why people complain about ground clearence with SFC's. There is so much more stuff under our car that hangs lower than them.

Kenny Browns are stronger than SLPs. But they have issues with other mods, like drive shaft loops. Which you need at the track. I have the SLP bolt-ons, and the SLP DSL. They work fine so far. Boxed are stronger than tubular, and 3 point are stronger than 2. And you can use the boxed as jack points too!
