Default subframe connectors

Anyone use these on their car, and if so, how did they fit?

those arent as popular as the UMI and BMR units are. I use the 3 point UMI chromemoly and that is a quality piece.

Yeah the UMI's look nice, but I can get the Granatelli for 125 bucks, and this is for my Stock SS, which will not see any autocrossing or drag racing and will stay stock, I think these may be good enough.

well if its stock you really dont need SFC then. i would concentrate at the "true" weak points of f-bodys then. there are plenty of autox guys who dont use SFC.

Hello,

If you have any questions regarding our item please ask and I will be glad to help. If you didn't want to weld on your vehicle we do offer a 100% bolt on set-up that requires no welding, drilling or grinding and can be installed in 20 minutes or less.

Thank you!
Ryan

If you are not autocrossing or drag racing I wouldn't think there would be much of a need for subframes IMO....

Well the car will not be babied, it will be driven spiritedly...So I have always been told that subframe connectors are something you should always install on these cars.

Honestly I don't think it's a bad idea either way. I've seen a couple of near stock f-bodies that have had the crap kicked out of them. The doors don't shut right anymore and the t-tops don't fit worth a damn. Plus after a while you may end up deciding you want a 400rwhp to have fun with on the weekends Better to have and not need than to have a twisted car.
