GMS subframe connectors...need advice Does anybody have any opinions about Granatelli Motor Sports (GMS) subframe connectors on a 4th gen? I've had the GMS tubular weld-ins for about 6 months as they came with the car but I have nothing to compare them with as far as handling/stiffness goes. I recently picked up some UMI performance SFC's as part of a package deal from a member here and was debating weather I should use them, which means removing my GMS weld-in's first.
One thing I noticed is that the UMI's are boxed and have a provision on the end to stiffen up the lower control arm frame mount. The GMS's are tubular and don't have the LCA mount. I do like how the GMS's are nearly hidden when viewed from the side.
What do you all think?

I really like the idea of the sfc's holding some of the load caused by the mass and acceleration of the car. I'm sure the stock mounting points are plenty strong but the UMI's will tie everything together nicely
