Boxed SLP's are VERY good. Get the bolt in kind because they come powdercoated. They are heavy, but the best in my opinion on subframe connectors.

Anyone know the weight difference (if any) between BMR's boxed and tubular subframes? I'm trying to keep teh added weight down to a minimum.

SLP bolt ins. They do weigh a little, but nothing over bearing, you can pick them up with one hand still. The weight distributes all along the bottom after install.

I have the SLP weld ins as well as the SLP tunnel brace /DS loop.

It really completes the frame of the car and adds an incredible amount of stability. If you look under the car it just looks "complete".

FYI I tried the bolt in SLP, but my car was in an accident before. They would not fit b/c of this. Just a heads up in case some of you have repaired cars!

Im sure there all good but I decided to go with SFC’s that were build by D.Goetz Fabrications. They are bolt on and have X bracing to the center of the car.
