Best Subframe Connectors for Drag Racing
Right now I have a set of SFC's that are pretty big and bulky (almost like the SLP version) and I want to cut some weight. So i was looking at the set from Spohn (look at link below) that tuck up in nice and cut almost 15 pounds from where I am now. what i was wondering will this be the way to go? I'm more interested in 1/4 mile performance than cornering ability. So what is everyones take on this and will these be a good choice? thansk for the help

i have the slp's but i was loking at those sphons for the dramatic loss of weight but they seem a little flimsy compared to what i have now. i plan on having some really hard launches and would rather have some extra weight and the piece of mind knowing my car wont stwist in half off the line. i may look into a having a frame guy custom build me a set like the slp's but have him make it out of chrome moly.

I've been doing some research here and think i may be going w/ the BMR boxed for more strength. they seem to be very well liked by all the posts i read on different sites but i have one other question. Like BigPlanTransAm said above the twisting, i read somewhere that someone said about wanting the full SFC's when going over 400 HP. is this true or will i be ok w/ the BMR's since i will installing my cam here in the near future and will be approching the 400 mark?

sfc's are more for the launch than anything. i would think it depends more on your 60' times to decide how much strength you need. i would say if you will be doing hard launches on sticky tires you should stick with the strong ones. if your going to be on street tires or just not launch aggressively you may want to go with the ligher ones

well i plan on getting a new rear here soon and running ET streets so i plan on hitting a 1.60's maybe better. i was cutting 1.90's on BFG's before w/ nothing before my rear started to go out. i guess i'll just give the BMR's a try now that i got them comming. i'm sure i could always fab something up and hook it in to the center like the ones i had before but w/ the Spohn TA I think it will be pretty strong, guess i'll find out.
