Roll bar and Sub connectors

Re: Roll bar and Sub connectors
I am running a custom 6 point in my car and decided to not to install subframe connectors. I dont believe you will need them with a good bar and install. I am a vert and have some additional subframe over a hardtop though. Just my $.02

I highly recommend subframes with any rollbar or cage install. I tie my roll bars into the subframes so this adds more strength and rigidity to the car.

Re: Roll bar and Sub connectors
Thanks for the replies guys,Madman,I was looking to get rid of the weight (42lbs)from the car after the roll bar(chrome-moly) install.Before the install I scaled in at 3430 with me in it.I installed Bmr K-member,upper and lower A-arms,manual rack,light weight carpet,plastic seat and simpsom 5-point harness,and now scale at 3490#.Keep in mind this is a stock internal car(for now).Plan on heads and cam over the winter.

Better listen to Madman. Subframes are still a must. You need that frame to be tied in really good. Without the subframes I'd still think there would be a lot of flex.
