UMI subframe connector hardware question
I can't seem to find anyone with the ***** to weld in my UMI subframe connectors. See picture below.
Question for UMI - Is there a way for me to order just the bolt on hardware? If I can't can I buy it from the hardware store? What exactly would I need to buy?

Not that I can tell. I got under the car and semi mocked them up. Lined up fine, the weld points on the car may need some work but that is why I want to pay someone to do it. Hell I would have payed a premium too. I even say "whatever you need to take your time and do it right"
I've been told 3 times to take it to a body shop. 3 Body shops said we don't do that kind of thing.
You would think in the greater Atlanta, GA area someone could freaking do it.

You can try an exhaust shop. The body shop I use wouldn't touch mine either. When I went to have some work done on my exhaust my guy there said, "Man, you really need SFCs.". I asked him if he would weld them up. $100 and it was done. Did a damn good job too.

Are these guys close to you ? They might do the job or have a recommendation for you. http://www.spartanlsxperformance.com/
If you want to take a road trip to the mountains in Park City Utah I'll weld them in for you.

They stiffen up my car but I can’t say if is as stiff as a car with welded in connectors, because I have no experience with the welded on ones. In OP first post he asks about hardware to bolt on his weld in connectors. Just giving him options not saying one is better than the other but I would think the weld in one would stiffen up the car more. The three point bolt ons do tie into the body pretty good.

Either way I will be welding them in. I just picked up a welder to learn how. Screw these pussies.
I was planning to bolt them in and them weld them in later.
On a side note... I'm completely forgot what I was going to do today because of someones avatar....
