Default Best SFC's ?

I know some advise against it, but I'am going with bolt-on connectors. Who makes the best ones?

I'am looking for quality construction and fit. Price is not a huge issue.

Thanks for knowledgable replys.

Enjoy your cars.

Don't get boxed BMRs, I don't like mine because they aren't that strong, they dent easy, and rust easy. If I did it over again, I would get Madman SFCs or G2s with V-braces, probably the G2s.

Id say the SLP's are the best, but they weigh so much. Im trying to decide wich ones I want. With the SLP's I dont want to get more than what iI need and then on top of that they weigh like 40 pounds. I might just go with a set of G2's myself. You can look at them and tell that theyre lighter, and plus I wont have that feeling that theyre overkill. <img border="0" alt="[Burnout]" title="" src="graemlins/burnout.gif" />

I've had the SLP bolt-ons for a while and I like them. They're some of the beefiest subs you can get- and I thought the only bolt-ons.? My only problem is that I just realized that the metal plates they give you for hardware are plain mild steel. See:

A friend of mine has boxed BMRs and is happy with them.

Can someone post how much they weigh also? For some of us with weight reduction that is a big deal.

I like my second set of SLP SFC's. The first set wouldn't fit my car. Obvious visual differences between the first and second set. Their customer service S*CKS.
