I have the UMI 3-point sub-frame connectors on my Camaro convertible and I would recommend installing a set. Definitely stopped all the little "wiggles" on my car. Also rides way more solid and they tuck up nicely under the chassis (lowest point on my car is the SLP y-pipe, not the connectors).

I have the UMI 3 point weld ins and they definitely firmed up the ride. The only issue is on LT1 verts, the fuel lines are in the way on the driver side, so they can't tuck up quite as nicely.

The link below is our convertible section if you would like to take a look. We offer both weld in and bolt in styles as well as 2-point and 3-point. The bolt ins are a 100% bolt in with no cutting or drilling.

If you have any questions please ask. Thanks for looking!

I just picked up a set of UMI 3 points, used, as I got a killer deal on them. I wouldn't hesitate to put on a set of the MWC's either - I actually was leaning towards them before I got these UMI's, but it was a little more of a hassle for me as I'd have to get them welded in.

Kinda back from the dead but figured it was a relevant post. Looking to put a set on my new vert. Going back to the MWC subframe connectors. I see where they are coming from in the not using the LCA mounts as a rear connection. So two things. Does anyone make SFC that bolt onto both ends like the MWC does but is also a 3 pt? Or would it just be easier to make our own 3pt addition (add to 2pt)?

To answer your question, I don't think so, as there aren't any mounting holes around the rear subframe. As far as making it a 3pt, I think it would be easier to fabricate it, but would hold off until its actually on the car to see if its even worth it.
Why do you want a bolt in one like MWC's? From what I've read, weld-in is the way to really justify a SFC. I bought a $90 flux core welder so I can put these on when I buy them (also, to practice first).
Nice car BTW!

I have a vert also. I have been looking for a long time for a decently priced SFC and settled on getting the MWC because of the actual tie-in of the subframes.
