what do you guys consider to be the best subframe connectors available. I want boltons but if the weldin ones are that much better I do that instead.

I don't like the Wolfe through the floor design. You have to remove interior, carpet, etc. --too much work for SFC.

If you want the strongest, go with SLP (bolt in because they are powdercoated -- you can weld them in).

If you want the lightest, go with Spohn tubular (chromoly is even lighter than their light steel ones). And they are bigger around than the BMR IIRC.

If you want a good compromise, go with LG/G2 with cross braces, or the Global West (big tubular).

Others include BMR (I'm staying away from their stuff because of bad comments, of course, this is only my opinion...others think they have great stuff), UMI (fairly new, and pretty good prices). KBDD are generally not considered that great either.

Sorry, I probably confused you more. I still haven't decided which I'm going with for sure. But I'm thinking Spohn just because they tuck up really good, don't add much weight, and I would have NO worry about interfering with the exhaust (like SLP or other "diamond" style).

I have the Hotchkis weld in. Fitment is great and the tuck very nice.

Me too, my welder who has installed BMR's, SLP's & KB DD says the G2's are the beefiest ones he has seen, so I'm very happy.

Hey he said the best available. The object of a subframe is for it to be sturdy. Theres nothing stronger then tieing the frames together like they do. yes you have to cut your floor and your car will be VERY stiff but thats the best available.

No **** man???

Do we know each other?

I really did a lot of research re: SFC's & suspension stuff, I went with the G2 stuff cuz I knew of Lou Gigliotti and the fact that he won races with the f-body using his stuff, he came up with his stuff based on trial & error, so everything he sells is designed with major overkill, and I liked that!!!

LGMotorsports stuff is excellent quality...Okay, it's expensive, and as far as I'm concerned, worth every penny.

So where do you live???
