Re: Slp subframe connectors If you are worried about clearance I would go with the BMR tubulars...I got them and they are great...noticeable difference too...car is really stiff... <img border="0" alt="[Fluffy]" title="" src="graemlins/fluffy.gif" />

Re: Slp subframe connectors Just put a set of the bolt-ons on my friends WS6 and they helped alot. I am getting ready to put a set of the BMR square tubing on my lowered SS. will let you know the clearence issue. On my buddy's WS6 they SLP's tucked nicely though. Ran into a tight area on the drivers side fuel line. Going to have to do a little trimming on the heat sheild to get them to go on.

Re: Slp subframe connectors I'm actually having the slp subframe connectors installed as we speak. I get the car back tonight after all the suspension upgrade is installed. After reading some of the posts here about subframe connectors, I am a little worried about the weight add on. Can someone tell me if i will lose 1/4 time. My stock time with cme exhaust was 13.04, thats a pretty good time for a stock ss so i hope i dont lose time from adding these things on.

Re: Slp subframe connectors Technically fro mthe weight you should loose a half a tenth, but you may gain from better traction and less bosy flex, who knows? If you have not already taken out the spare you could always do that too.

Re: Slp subframe connectors I have the SLP bolt-ons. Didn't want to rip out the interior to do weld-ons (burn up the carpet from welding on the floor).
Anyway, they go on real easy (fuel line heatshield on driver side @ front, needs minor trimming). I road race it & definitely notice the increased chassis stiffness.
I have had no issue with ground clearance & my car is lowered by 1.5".

i have had them (bolt-ons) on my car for a few years now. At first they did help with some rattles, but i also did alot of other stuff around the same time, so its hard to tell if it was the sfc or not. I did notice alot more rigidity though after they were on. Make sure to use lock-tite on the bolts.
