I would personly go with the UMI Sub Frame Connect Connectors they fit great and the quality is great as well. I have 0 issues with ground clearance.

UMI Boxed here as well, I don't have them installed yet, but a friend of mine bought a set at the same time as I did and he has had no complaints at all of them.

Also I would like to say that I have dealt with and talked to Ryan at UMI a few times now and he is great to do business with. I can't say anything on the others listed because I have never dealt with them but Ryans customer support is top notch.

Sorry for jacking the thread. I'm really interested in UMI subs because the rest of my suspension is UMI, but I dont believe they make them for verts. 1BadSS 00 I would not hesitate to get UMI's they make a killer stuff...
