Default BMR Sub Frame Connectors

So iv done some reserch on SFC but i just wanna get some more input.

i know a guy thats willing to sell me some BMR Sub Frame Connectors that are new. they are weld on tubular heres the part on BMR's website

http://www.bmrsuspension.com/index.c...&productid=313

from what iv read i think that weld on, box style, and 3 piece

BUT i wasnt planning on getting them for my car cuz i would rather put the money towards something else but hes asking $60 and i think thats a pretty legit price. what do you guys think??

also im not worried about clearence

For $60 thats a definitely a good price. I just installed those exact subframes from BMR but in black, and very happy with the quality, fit, and finish.

I honestly dont drive my car hard enough to notice it, but i did feel the car was a tad stiffer it felt like. But i am very happy with it. I also installed the BMR adj. panhard as well. That too was a great piece.

Of course its a good price. Half the price of new, you cant beat it. BMR is reputable and top line quality.

That is definitely a good deal. The BMR tubular style subframe connecters are a 2 point design that need to be welded in. For $60 you can't go wrong with picking them up.

All of the BMR subframe connecters are weld-in.

No, get the directions from BMR if you don't have them. They're not hard to install.

If you car has T-Tops and you ever plan to make 400Hp you will need them!

But they serve many other purposes and a solid place to jack the car, my personal favorite is my car was run off the road at interstate speeds, shop told me without the SFCs.... the car would have been totaled hands down.

You don't really have to remove the entire control arms, you just have to remove the bolt on the front mounting position of the control arm so you can set the subframe connector in place and slide the bolt back in. It is a real easy deal to do as long as you know how to weld or the person installing knows how to weld.

Less than a week after installing mine I accidentally backed into a ditch (I can't see **** at night) and the SFC are what saved my *** from demolishing my rocker panel, door, etc. Held almost the entire weight of the car until we were able to pull it out.

BTW, I noticeably feel that the car is stiffer and handles better taking off ramps at excessively high speeds
