SFC Questions
SFC Questions With the current sales going on right now with BMR and UMI suspension components I felt it would be a great time to buy some subframe connectors. My car is a daily driver that will see the strip maybe twice a year. I don't want to sacrifice the driveability, but I want to stiffen things up a bit. At first I wanted to get the bolt in tubular ones but after reading about the 3 point ones I am now confused which direction I should go. For people that have them, how much lower do the 3 point ones hang down? Are they lower than your exhaust and how much are they visible? It looks to me like the tubular and boxed ones are pretty much hidden.
I have tubular 3 points, and I have to bend way the hell over to see them. They are an inch higher than my exhaust, so no ground clearance lost. Even with stock exhaust I figure ground clearance loss would be minimal.
street driven and occasional track duty doesn't warrent the 3 point.
any sfc are an advantage.
keep it simple.
my boxed SFC didn't hang low at all. the gfx seemed lower.
i have a bunch of pics of my BMR boxed sfc being installed on page 3 of my cardomain site in the sig

Hello,
Thanks for the interest in our product and I will be glad to help
None of the SFC's we offer will reduce ground clearance or hang lower then your exhaust system. Our 3-Point SFC's are very popular, they fit excellent and hug the under carriage nicely. When designing this item we took the time to bend the bracing to follow the contour of the floor... this prevents ground clearance loss.
I pasted two pictures below to show these from the side and how the exhaust system will hang lower. If you have any additional questions please ask. Thank you!

Ryan,
Thanks for the pics. It is sort of hard to tell how visible they would be at normal eye level though. My guess is that they would only be slightly visible unless you get down at ground level to look at them.
I also wondering what I stand to gain from going with either the boxed or 3 point ones over the tubular for a daily driver that might only see the track several times a year?

I have the 2 point tubular and I think they are great. I noticed a big difference right away. If you were a serious racer, e.g. autocrosser, I could see getting the 3 points. But I suggest they are way overkill for your stated use. Save the extra $$ for more suspension mods.

Just Do it! They are not visable, the tubular 3 point bolt ons ROCK! and UMI makes them in Black too, so you don't have any of that "Look at my underside" red.
They will wake up your ride - then play with poly (and get a strut tower connector) next!

Thanks for all of the replies. As much as I would like to get the 3-point SFC'c, it looks like I am going to get the tubular bolt-in ones as those should serve my needs well.
The 2-point SFC's are an excellent choice and I think you will be very happy with the fit and finish. And they can be installed in less than an hour with basic hand tools and they require no drilling, grinding or cutting.. they are 100% bolt on.
We look forward to doing business with you!
