That is the question. I narrowed it down to the UMI bolt in subrames or the Boxed weld ins.

Even though I want the bolt ins, I will get them welded later on after I bolt them in.

Which are realy better? Or does it matter?

i think the boxed are a little stronger than the tubular, but with less ground clearance. i used to only want boxed. but after a lot of reading there are a lot of people with tubular. so i am going with the umi tubular sfcs and then im going to get them welded.

I don't know, the boxed just look tough.

We have tubular CM weld ins that are very strong.

I'm not a fan of bolt ins.

It depends on your expectations. If you are going to road race, I would do boxed. Stronger structurally, but the clearance issue is a PITA.
If not, I would go tubular. And weld in, either way, just because.

Hello,

We have good luck with both the tubular style and boxed style, for strength reasons you would be fine with either choice.

A few things that might help you make a decision- The tubular ones are available with the bolt in option but can be welded at any time. The boxed are not and are weld in only. The tubular set-up tucks up a lot tighter to the vehicle and can not be seen from the side of the vehicle. The boxed hang down slightly and if a bright color such as red is chosen they may be visible if you do not have ground effects. But the boxed do not reduce ground clearance.

If I can help anymore please ask. Thank you!

I have kenny brown boxed weld-in and they tuck up real nice. I had a chassis shop put them in for me. No matter what weld them in.

get the tubular bolt ins, and get them welded, you won't notice a difference in the two. You are going to be just fine my friend

I put in a set of 3 point bolt in UMI's last night and the fit and look is awesome. UMI has some of the best stuff out. Very nice product.

Are the UMI boxed subframes realy noticable if painted black? Eather way I am pretty sure I will go with the tube bolt ins then get them welded later.
