I was looking to buy some sub frame connectors and was wondering is there a big difference in strength between the Tubular SFCs and the Boxed SFCs?
I was thinking about getting UMI tubular bolt ins, since they dont have boxed bolt ins. and was going to have them welded later on
Thanks!

Bolt ons should be fine for a semi stock car... Box'ed will hang lower, but provide more stiffness. Im going with bolt in tubulars, and have them welded in later on, as drops in my future...

Our boxed subframe connectors loose about a 1/4 inch ground clearance and are barely visible from the side of the car. If you have any questions about our product line I would be more then happy to answer them
