It's welded on. It looks like it's welded at several points along the floor of the car. It does NOT use the lower control arms mounts as an attachment point, unlike UMI, BMR, SLP, etc. Correct MWC?

No they are welded onto the vehicle on the first picture.

Correct we sell Sub Frame Connectors that tie the two sections together. These are weld in applications only.

I have LG springs which are pretty low and my tubular 3 point UMI's seem to be working pretty well.

I've a lot of good things about the Global West subframe connectors too which I think you can buy through Jegs.

This shows the welding point and us using it on our lift.


We only offer a weld in version that goes from sub frame to sub frame.
wow, those are the best looking SFC's i've ever seen, if only i had a need for them lol

I would like to see some off the vehicle shots or at least one coming from the front, I can't see the front mounting point. A side shot to see how low they hang would be nice too.

BTW (I'm sure you know this but...) you guys need to update your site. I have no idea what you sell beyond the three products listed. I can't buy what I don't know that you sell.

I just installed a set of BMR weld SFC and they tuck up very nice. I am also lowered and I could barely see the subframes underneath. Very good quality, and fit.

I don't have a vehicle on the lift to get you a side view at this time but I tried to get one on our shop car but they didn't come out, you can barely see ours from the side if you are laying on the ground and looking directly under the vehicle.

Also the picture painted black is the front mounting point and the picture under the red vehicle is from behind. It connects sub frame to sub frame.

Quick shot laying on the ground.


Yes our web page is horrible, how ever trust me we are a fabrication shop. We make pretty much everything at a guaranteed low price and we make it all from scratch right here in house.

I understand. I didn't realize the red car was the front section - cool. If you can barely see them once installed, that is exactly what I am looking for.

I noticed that on the web site. I wish you guys had at least a product / price list available. It's hard for me to think you might build stuff I need if it isn't listed.
