Spohn does. I have a set of Red never opened/never used tubular chrome moly sfc's with mild steal ends that can be mig welded so any good welder can install them. PM me if interested.

I sold a set of UMI's yesterday... 3-pt weld-in's in fact. Was told the parts were in stock, and they'd be ready to ship by early next week. Please note, that's what I sold, they aren't the only style connector you can can in CM. In fact you can get either 2 or 3 point, bolt-in or weld-in stlye connectors made in CM.

CM adds $100 to the price of connector, and can be added to the following parts:

It you are looking for lighter, the tubulars are lighter than boxed (and since you are thinking of spending this extra money I assume that's important). But if you notice, you have more choices with UMI (and the cost is a touch less too). Spohn doesn't even have 3-point connectors...

Also the UMI's use .095" wall vs. Spohn's .083" wall tubing, and UMI uses .250" mouting plates vs. the .187" Spohn is using.

So, which weight less? Spohn by maybe 2 pounds (I could tell you whatever I wanted and just say scales vary). But think about why.

ok makes sense...i want 2 pts for now...later this year im goana have it tied together with a cage...
i really dont even think i need them since i put on my swaybar i cant jack the front(left or right) of the car without lifting 3 ties off the ground

but i guess it cant hurt to do it...the thicker wall will help the 2 pt be stiffer since i wont be going 3 pt...on the other hand i was kinda cautious about the spohn mounting system..didnt look too good but their pics werent great either...im goana end up with umi 2pt

Let me know if I can help. Remember you have your choice of red or black too.

As Sam had mentioned there is quite a few benefits of our set-up. Please also keep in mind that we make these in a 100% bolt on option as well... where our competitor does not. This option is good for many customers welding also, it allows them to install the SFC's now and have them welded at a later date if needed. All the mounting points of our SFC's are mild steel as well, this allows the product to be MIG or TIG welded to the vehicle.

Thanks for considering our product!

Ryan
