Subframe connectors? What do all of you run? I was looking at the cheaper $115 ones, or the SLP ones with cross braces. Any ideas? Thanks guys

We have a nice selection of either bolt ons or weld ins in the link below. If you have any questions please ask.

but just to make me feel better, I'm gonna weld em anyways man. I don't think you can "feel" any difference, but over time the bolts do get loose.

I'd go w the 3pts.
UMIs will give you better ground clearance. I had the SLPs, I think you can actually see them hanging under the car in my sig photo (and definately in some of my photo bucket pics (sig link). I have since sold my SLPs. I intend to get UMI 3pts IF I put some on again. UMI offers great quality-good price-and I feel superior design due to better clearance, and the fact that they attatch to both sides of the LCA pocket (SLP only 1 side).
In most cases (UMI and SLP 4 sure) you can get the bolt ins, for easy install, and just eventually weld in.
Long story short---> Id recomend UMI 3pt bolt ins!
**As you know if you searched...SFCs may produce increased ride harshness and noise (that was the case w my SLPs). And some feel they are unnecessary as 4th gens are pretty solid. The exception being if you are a drag racer w sticky tires-then they seem needed.

they are pretty sweet. i like the fact that they hang below the frame a bit, its good for us lowered cars. the SFC act as scrapers to prevent other stuff from getting owned by bumps.
