Default Subframe Connectors - LG, GW, or GMS?

Hey guys, I am finally going to be getting some subframe connectors and have limited it to these 3 companies: LG Motorsports, Global West, and Granatelli Motorsports. I have heard that all 3 fit great, cant be seen from the side of the car, and are great quality. Now the question - Does anyone know how much a pair of each weighs? Thanks

Don't know about weight, but I just had GW's put on, and I like them. You can't see them from the side of the car, and they fit very well.

Get the LG's and the "X" brace to go with them (from LG). Those should do an excellent job since they tie the chassis diagonally (I was going to buy those or SLP's and at the time, I wound up with the SLP's. If I were doing it again, I think I'd try the LG setup).

Default GW are best

Hi

All 3 designs are very similar. With the LG's you can have the X brace, but both the LG and Granetelli are only 1.75 in diameter. The GW are 2 in. They fit all the way up so there is no ground clearance disadvantage to using 2 in. As far as I am concerend why use 1.75 in when 2 in will fit just as well. Also, the weight difference will not be that much. I purchased the GW and I am eagerly waiting for their arrival.
