Default Subframe Connectors

I am considering purchasing subframe connectors (probably weld-in BMR's) and was curious as to whether or not they interfere with anything. Down the line, I was thinking of getting long tube headers and a new complete rearend. So I was just curious to see if the subframe connectors would need to be removed to install other things. If they do, then I will just and do everything at once. If not, I will just get them now.
Thanks alot!

Both the designs BMR sells don't interfere with anything you mentioned; they're nowhere near the axle or Y-pipe. Get the subs as soon as possible, you won't be sorry!

Get the Global West SFC's, they are the same design as BMR, but are heavier guage steel than theirs are. No clearance probs at all.

Everybody says SFC's should be your first mod, and they are right.

Ah, I may have mispoke, I know the GW SFC's are very similiar to another company's, I thought it was BMR, but GW's are tubular.

Thanks for the replies! Looks like I will be getting some subframe connectors in a month or two (Probably BMR). Getting my first house at the end of June, so I gotta save all my pennies for that right now. But the subframe connectors will be on soon enough!!

While your waiting to get them, spend some time talking to people and finding a good local shop that can weld them in for you.
