Default Subframe connectors

My buddy who has an 8 second Mustang (crate engine) has some nasty subfram connectors. I'm no 8 second car, but I plan on having the Camaro forever, and continuing to put money into it every month. You can check my sig. for mods and I've only had the car for a year and a half. I'm 22 so in the future you can bet that this car will be insane! Should I get the dimond shape subframe connectors, or go for some costum subframes that are totaly nasty? Some guy I fly with was a mechanic for 20 years and can fabricate anything. Thanks for the help, don't be bashful to post, lol.

I'd go with SLP bolt-on's, we've installed three sets of bolt-on's and all are working great. One of my friends SS's has had them on for more then 20K miles and there as tight as the day we installed them ( 400 plus H.P. ).

Depends on who's doing the talking, I still say SLP bolt-on's will do the job. JMO If you go with bolt-on's let me know and I'll give you a good link on how to install them.

I've done a bit of research and I think weldins are better, but I guess I need to find the blue prints for the best set out there.
