Right off the bat I'd say BMR...... Some of the best chassis stuff made.... no different for subframe...

They are worth it. They go under the car welded in to connect the front subframe with the rear subframe.....

if you don't have a cage they are VERY worth it and they go a long way towards structural integrity..... Some of the most solid cars i've seen are ones that have had subframe connectors since day 1... find a good welder to do yours..... Most exhaust shops will do them...

you can buy the bolt in style then have them welded in. it will save you a little money. that way you can install them yourself then just take it to a welder

I don't have any pics but I just put a set of UMI 2-point bolt in and I love them..easy install too.

What are peoples thoughts on the 3-points, I was looking at the UMI 3 points.

They are great as well as the 2-points..They will help better with t-top squeeks..I'm sure they have another plus about them as well. Prob a little stiffer ride then the 2-point. This post really should be in the suspension section..

If you haven't replaced the factory torque arm or panhard bar yet then I would invest in those first.

UMM there is nothing wrong with bolt in because you can always weld them in....

It is better to have them welded.

We do have a section for Suspension & Brakes...

Subframe connectors are designed to tie the front and rear subframes together, stiffening up the chassis, resulting in improved handling, reduced t-top squeaks, dash rattles and quarter panel flexing. A piece that is designed to add rigitity to your car must be welded in to do that best as possible. A flange that is retained with just a bolt can still flex from the point of the bolt retaining it...

BMR.

I had mine put in when a friend with a '96 ws6 had been at the track a few times and after some hard launches said his t-tops did not fit well anymore and had leaking issues. Put mine it and the integrity is much better.

I bought some off eBay for my 91, and me and my friend couldn't figure them out. They were a POS though Just a long piece of box steel with a piece of flat stock welded on one side with holes for bolts. The "instructions" that came with it pictures it going to the transmission area, but there was no way it would've worked lol.

I'd love to make my own (as well as a strut brace), but don't know where I could get thick tubing bent :\ I'm poor, and can't afford a nice $100-200 set of SFCs.
