Advice on Sub Frame Connectors
I bought UMI 3PT bolt ins. Bolted and welded them. They def. made the car stronger and I'm going to do some drag racing so no worries about twisting for me. Easy installation.

I have the UMI 2 point boxed weld-ins. Nice pieces and they tuck up very nicely. I got them because of the creases I developed in my quarters from launching. I had them fixed and they haven't come back. They're also handy for jacking up the car if you change tires a lot.
If I didn't go to the track, though, I would not have them. They ruined my car's good ride.

Doing SFCs first = idiocy. I know, that's what I did. I listened to people who thought they knew. Don't get me wrong, it's a nice mod and has its place. BUT - your first mod should be shocks, period. My run of the mill HDs made more difference than the rest of the mods combined, Konis would have been more so.
Shocks first (or shocks + springs), anything else is dumb. Next should be swar bars, unless you have a dedicated drag car, then yes, do SFCs.

What's the difference, from a performance standpoint, between the 2-point and 3-point SFC's? How do I decide which would best suit my needs?
thanks.

i got the 2 pt tubular bolt-ins from UMI...don't even know they are there (tuck right in)...they are great
Most likely I two points will be just fine. We recommend the 3-Point set-up when running our tunnel mounted torque arm or similar torque arm. The SFC's mount under the arm and reduce the floor board stress.
If I can help anymore please ask. Thank you!
