Subframe connector and LCA relocation bracket help. Do LCA relocation brackets hurt ground clearance on lowered cars. And which subframe connector will give the most ground clearance. And finally is boxed or tubular connectors. I want what will make my car the stiffest but 3 point connectors are out of the question due to my dual exhaust. The loss of some clearance is ok since my exhaust hangs a little low to begin with but i dont want to go anylower than the bottom of the pipes which are 3". Thanks for the help.

Box connectors are slightly stiffer. Tubular connectors will sit a little higher. My BMR boxed SFCs have been on my near-stock-height car for 3 1/2 years and have never scraped. There are many things lower than LCA brackets and SFCs. Boxed SFCs are a really good jack point too.

Hello,
Like mentioned relocation brackets will not effect ground clearance at all.
On the SFC's we offer both the boxed style and tubular style... neither item will reduce clearance but the tubular style does tuck up much tighter. The boxed style hang down below the pinch weld approx. 1/2" where as the tubular style can not be seen from the side of the vehicle. On performance they will both work the same. I posted a few links below, please take a look.

If you have any questions please ask and I am glad to help. Thank you!

Im going with the boxed ones from UMI. I really like that they tie into to forward LCA bracket, but is longer hardware needed to reinstall the LCA's in that bracket. I love the UMI products and i havent heard any complants about anything these guys sell. Ill be placing my order shortly. Ryan could i get a shipping quote on Item#

Good choice on UMI, Ryan really aims to please. He gets it.
I think tubular SFCs make for a neater cleaner install, plus plenty strong. I'll be putting BMR lowering brackets on my lowered Trans Am, with a Strange 12-bolt, shouldn't be any clearance problems at all.
