I wish a car magazine would do a product comparison on all the brands of subframe connectors, because most owners won't be able to tell which kind is better, unless they've owned several different cars. Think about it - with tires you can take them on and off to compare different treads, but once you weld on that SFC, you've mated for life.

To (sort of) answer your question, just about any SFC should be a big improvement over what you have now.

Yes I agree, some of us have tried other brands though so thats were we can say which we like and which we dont. My biggest thing is fit, your right any SFC will do improvments an they are all about the same for improvements. But some fit like a glove and some taken some riggin to get into place. Also some cost anywhere from $399 to as little as a $100.

I am very happy for the little over a hundred I spent

Default SFC's

Thanks guys for all the help, i'll probably end up choosing the BMR or maybe go a little pricy and go for the Kenny Brown SFC's.
