Default Sub Frame Connectors

Which ones are the best? I was lookin at the UMI weld on brand. Is that a good choice?

I have the UMI 3-pt bolt-in kit, and it was very easy to install and the car definitely does not squeak and rattle (I want to say "at all") anymore. My plan is to have them welded in once I get everything else setup and dialed in.

Don't matter which ones, just make sure you weld them in.

In my opinion, subframe-connectors are subframe-connectors. I think it's kind of hard for a suspension company to get it wrong with SFC's. I would just look into the best deal you could get. I am biased towards UMI, because they have the best customer service and Ryan is always on the boards keeping us happy.

I also agree. All of my suspension stuff is from them

I opted for the 3-pt because well...triangles are stronger than no triangle, and I have their chassis-mounted torque arm, and I liked the idea of bracing my torque arm mount area with the extra slab of metal, and figured it'd just tie everything together better. I'm also installing a 6pt rollbar (also bolt-in to later be welded) from Wolfe Racecraft.

Sounds like an excellent setup DuronClocker. Refering to the cam with high lift on a tight LSA with the usual bolt-ons and UMI suspension, Strano Springs and Koni's.
