You will notice the car being a little more stiff especially entering and leaving parking lots dropping off the curb. They are supposed to prevent rattles not cause them. I have some SLP SFC's and like the feel of them. These cars should have some type from the factory. They are a good thing especially if you plan more mods to go faster.

i have 3 points for one main reason. i bought a tunnel brace mounted torque arm from umi and with the 3 point subframe connectors it ties into the tunnel brace giving better weight distribution to all the areas of the car. you would be just fine with 2 points aswell. i have a complete umi suspension and im extremely happy with it.

Yes they are very easy to install. If you go with the bolt on model they can be installed in 20 minutes or less using basic hand tools and require no cutting, grinding or drilling. If you go with the weld in set-up there is still no cutting or drilling just sanding and prepping of the area to be welded.
If I can help any please ask. Thank you!

The best thing about sub frame connectors imo is it makes jacking your car up very easy.
It also tightens up the frame a lot and will really expose how crappy the stock shocks are.

How do you install sfc's? Do you just put it up on a lift and weld them in? If the car is on a lift wouldn't the frame sag in the middle then stay that way after you welded the sfc's in? Or is it even enough sag to matter?

The 3 point are awesome and they tie the car completely together plus of you get the torque arm you can get the tunnel mounted one. I love my umi bolt ins tuck up tight to the body. I vote 3 point. Also I noticed all my t top noise gone after adding these

You need to install them on a drive-on/alignment rack.

What shocks do you have?
If you are on stockers, follow these steps:
1. Buy Konis from Sam
2. Kick yourself in the nuts for doing other suspension stuff first
3. Install Konis
4. Kick yourself in the nuts again for not doing the Konis sooner
5. Love the way the car drives

Other then that you will be just fine with the 2-Point set-up
Let me know if I can help anymore. Thank you!

We recommend the 3-point set-up when you are running one of our tunnel mounted torque arms. The 3-point design bolts under the torque arm and distributes the weight from the floor.
Other then that you will be just fine with the 2-Point set-up
Let me know if I can help anymore. Thank you!
