I've got UMI under my seat, they are great quality and look good. You should check them out and BMR.

We just put in the thru the floor Wolfe sub frames on a buddies car. Very nice pieces. I'd say much better than my BMR boxed ones.

Couldn't comment on Wolfe's cause I've never seen them. But Midwest makes a good one, its an actual sfc that ties sf to sf instead of others on the market that tie sf to the lca mount which is useless.

^^^ this guy knows whats up!


The thru-floor connector is great if you feel like doing that extensive surgery to the chassis. Otherwise the SFC we make is a true frame connector and does the job it is advertised to do.

After I installed my UMI 3 point SFCs, there was a major difference in handling. When getting on it around a corner, I no longer fishtail like I was before.

I know it's just a testimonial but I felt like I had a lot more control over the vehicle.
