Default RK Sport subframe connectors

Hey I was looking at the rksport connectors and they are added on the factory ones that are on the car. Has anyone used these connectors and can show some pics of them installed?

I haven't seen the RKSport SFC, but most SFC's are not visible when looking at the car unless you are pretty low to the ground.

The ones that RK sports sell, are not made by them...they are made by BMR.

Notice the exact same color, design and price?

The Kenny Brown Double Diamonds were in production UNTIL his hospitalization.
Seems like he will have to start over from scratch since his loss of KBperformance.

well i bought sfc from hardcore motorsports who custom fab their suspension parts and i ordered them for the convertible. Get them in the mail and see they do not fit. Then they tell me that I have to cut out my factory sfc and then weld these in. I want ones that will connect to the ones that are already there to make them stronger

Cutting out the factory sheet metal bracing is about
the most retarded idea I can even remember. No way
will a skinny aftermarket tube buck the frame (lack of)
sag the factory reinforcement is meant to. If that bit of
wisdom isn't in the product description they owe you
your money back.

wasnt spohn suppose to fab a set also. I also dont think removing the factory SFC's is a wise choice. Chassis is unstable as it sits, imagine cutting those out and swapping in a set of tubular bars... if you added the bars to your existing sfc, that is an improvement, not vice versa.

Has anyone used the bmr or the rksport SFC before?

I have the BMR's on my SS. They fit fine. I chose them since I could not find a KBDD design.
