Default Granatelli sub frame connectors

Anyone using Granatelli sub frame, if so do you have any pics of how they look on your car. I am looking at the weld in. Thanks for your input.

Default Granatelli sub frames

You are right about that, I have a set of the UMI sub frame and a torque arm that I have on my 95 . But when I got the 95 it came with a new set of Granatelli (weld in type) sub frames and I'm not sure how I would like them or how they look installed, but I would like to put them on my 94. Thanks for the input.

I have a set of BMRs, honestly a sub frame connector isn't super complicated, so I doubt any brand would be really worse than another by much of any at all

damn. I wish I had a pic, I had them on my 99 Z28 for 4 years untill I flipped it 4 times. They were the weld in style, performed great untill I broke the car. didnt reduce ground clearance at all, and the car rolled from the front passenger fender to the back drivers side fender, the car was so twisted I cant get the doors open but I feel like the SFC's helped keep the car from twisting more.
