Default Best subframe connectors?

I've heard that subframe connectors are a must on these cars. Which ones would you say are the best and where can you find them for the cheapest?

Also any bad things about them?

BMR are a good fit. You will see a difference in handleing, taking corners, straight line accerleration and car feels like if pulls faster -meaning it feels like its faster due to less drivetrain power loss, at least I felt my sfc bmr, made my car pull faster aside from what i mentioned.

Tubular or box? I am hoping for a better ride also and maybe less squeaking.

General consensus is boxed has the best rigidity, but tubular is better-suited if you have clearance issues.

Clearance shouldn't be a problem because I will be doing TD's soon anyway and not going to lower the car. Now I just have to find a set of the SFC's for the best price.

I got bmr tubular and happy with this descision. I hear and you can do a search and find pictures that, the bmr boxed sfc hang low and can be seen from the side of the car - but this is not an issue with tubular bmr sfc.

Forgot to add, although the bmr sfc did remove some of the squeeking my car had before sfc, the squeeking came back a few days later, but im sure it has/will prevent any added squeeking that may have come in the futre.
