Nice set of SFC's!

We are finalizing all of the production elements now. It, along with the new tunnel-mount torque arm should be available within the month, or very shortly after the first of the year. We are close, very close!

...and I thought I was done upgrading my suspension!

LMK!

Oh yeah, BTW we have a watts link Should be available early next year. Haven't dialed in an exact price yet, but we are aiming for it to be cheaper than the other currently available piece.

This setup weighs roughly 40 lbs, so only about 10lbs more than regular SFC's.

I'm in agreement with SteveC. For the guys that autocross their Fbody, this will be useful. If you run at the track...by the time you go fast enough to justify buying this, you'll be installing a roll cage anyway. Seems convenient to bolt in, but cost would be my concern.

Edit: I forgot to mention it's usefulness in HPDE Track Day form for the weekend warrior types.

This is exactly what these SFC's are designed for. We already have small, lightweight 2-point style, heavy duty box style 2 points sfc's etc. These are designed to triangulate the major points of the car to reduce lateral flex for handling applications, without getting into doing a cage and/or interior bracing.

Imo, there's a good reason why car manufactures strive year-after-year to improve structural rigidity, better handling characteristics!
Furthermore, the term "OverKill" is so overwhelmingly subjective, and you could make a point that modifying you vehicle in any way at all is "OverKill"!

Hell, isn't "OverKill" basically what we all enjoy..?

I don't know how I feel about the small mounting tab for the rear subframe.

Will the subframe connectors work in conjunction with the new TA013 - Torque Arm, Tunnel Mount, Stock Exhaust, W/o DSL for 93-02 F Body?

Also, what if the car has BMR LCA relocation brackets installed already, will these subframe connectors still bolt up without any issues?

It should work just fine with you tunnel mounted TA, since the car in the video has already has a BMR tunnel mounted TA on it. LCA relocation brackets have have nothing to do with the SFC's, so it's not a issue.

Yes, in fact the 2 were developed together, so they will work really well together. Relocation brackets will have no affect on the subframes either. Our development car has all of these parts installed.

Default Fitment Issues

Has anybody purchased these new 4 point sub frame connectors? Trying to install mine now and it doesn't look like the passenger side bolt holes are even close to lining up. I'd have to notch the bolt holes out to get it to work. Going to see how the driver side fits.
