I'm about to be buying some subframe connectors soon, and i'm not exactly sure what to get. I have been searching around and cant seem to find anything on what is better, or what the advantages are of having 3 point connectors or 2 point.

Hello,
We recommend the 3-Point design when running a tunnel mounted torque arm that bolts in the tunnel area. The 3-Point SFC's reduces the stress from the floor, see picture below for a example. Other then that the 2-Point SFC's will work for any application.
If you have any questions please contact us. Thank you!

Thanks Ryan. One more question. I have read that the boxed SFC's are stronger, but I want to get bolt in ones. I am buying them from UMI, but does UMI sell the boxed in a bolt in version? And if not are the tubular ones just as good as the boxed or should I just go with the weld in's?

In my opinion...go with the weld in. I actually have the SLP boxed 3 point weld in and am considering removing them ind installing UMIs weld in tubulars...I just dont like the way the SLPs are designed and installed. With respect to strength I dont think there is really a difference but I could be wrong.

The tubulars will work just the same as the boxed style and you will notice no difference. The bolt in tubular style is a 100% bolt in that requires no drilling, cutting or gridning and can be installed in 20 minutes. And you can always weld them at a later date if needed.
Please let me know if I can help anymore. Thank you!

ill ask what has probably been asked 1000 times already....which SFC would be best for me? 02 TA, 6spd. i autox it (no real classes so that doesnt matter). im running the koni/strano setup. when the weather clears up, ill have the adj. PHB installed and aligned. perhaps this year, ill get LCA. i have the stock torque arm, but may upgrade in the future (this season or next). i already decided on bolt ins, but which would be best, the 2 or 3 point?

My BMR safety loop ties the SLP 3-point bolt-ins together in the middle. I've himed and hawed about how much of them to weld. The pinch weld flange along the outside at the least, I guess.
