I have SLP 3 point SFC boxed and welded installed. Made a huge difference when it comes to Creaks, rattles and rolls! Only drawback was bottom scraping considering the car is lowered but I rather have the SFC take the punishment then my exhaust or the body. Add DA Konis in front SA Konis rear. Ground Control in front, Double adj. UMI off Trans mount Torque Arm, UMI Panhard bar and lca's in the rear. Ohh and Strano Sway bars. Car handles like a race car on the street. Almost as good as the Vette... Just need to lose another 400 lbs!
The MWC true subframe connectors are above the rocker at the front, and taper slightly under the rocker at where it welds to the rear frame rail. Most exhaust systems and some aftermarket torque arms are usually lower than the connector at the rear. We have never had anyone complain about ground clearance with our setup.
The MWC true subframe connectors are a great value at 160.00 shipped!
Older thread but maybe we can get some info,
Do you recommend these for a convertible as well or is there a different part # I should be looking at ?
Thanks
After hours of study and reading the forum I have decided to add sub frame connectors to my 99 TA vert. So I am asking for help in deciding which to purchase.
I am looking for improvement in handling. Most of my driving is in the twisties. I am not looking to road race. I will follow up with tires first and entry level upgraded shocks and be done.
To make it simple I have mostly narrowed down to BMI or Mid West Chassis.
I like that the BMI bolt in because it seems that would allow me to get everything where is needs to be before welding.
MWC seems to have a good product and makes a compelling case.

The difference in cost is not really a factor.
I can only comment on our own product but our SFC fit as tight to the underside of the body as you can get giving no issues with anything hanging to low and as SSVERT mentioned they are a true SFC connector and do the job they are intended to do..

If you have any more questions feel free to ask..
Thank you I guess I was looking for a little bit more impartial input. The website is hard to get cost.
I keep seeing "true" sub frame connectors in reference to the MWC and not to be fooled by others that mount to the LCA mount. That is of course the other main choice.
So I am looking for non-biased opinion on the difference.
Do you mean BMR or UMI? If you're interested in our product, let me know and I'd be glad to help. As long as you're supporting a US made vendor in your decision!

There is no bias... we are simply stating the facts. The MWC connector actually connects the front and rear subframes together. I will post some cut away pics for all to see soon.
Being as you are looking for input on a handling oriented setup, lateral triangulation is very beneficial ro keeping chassis flex to a minimum. Also, since the whole "lca mount vs true subframe" deal seems to be coming up more and more lately, we decided, why not both? These are available through us as either a bolt on or weld on. When used with chassis brace or driveshaft loop to span the tunnel, it ties both sides together for a really solid setup. However, these will not work with a convertible due to the added floor bracing. Just something to consider

I have BMR boxed on my car, have for about 7 years. They seem to quiet the creaks and rattles of the car over rough roads and have never had any quarter panel issues from hard launches. I've had the pleasure of install Midwest pieces on a vert and the owner was pleased with them as well. If I had to do it over again, it would be a tough choice. I have supported my entire car by just the sub frames too many times to count so I know they are strong.

what do you consider entry level upgraded shocks ?
Hey I have a question for the midwest chassis guys. Why are your sfc's listed as race/offroad use on the bottom of the page on your website? Why aren't they recommended for highway use?

In this day and age, better get used to seeing legal disclaimers on EVERYTHING. There are way to many sue happy idiots running rampant. And, that's exactly what the disclaimers are for....the idiots!
Extremely old pictures but our SFC haven't changed much in years.. That is because they simply work as you can see from Erics personal ride at the time, the same vehicle he developed almost all of our product with and tested himself..

Let's be honest. To the sponsors claiming they have 6,7,8,9,10 second cars running their subframe connectors, those cars are also running cages, especially the faster cars, so at that point the under car SFC's just become added weight when you have a 25.x cert cage in the car.
