Default Subframe Connector Help

I want to buy subframe connectors but I'm not too sure what kind to get. I saw they have weld-in and bolt-in ones. What's better? I don't want to spend too much on them though.

Either one will work just fine. If the vehicle is aggressively raced we recommend to weld the SFC's in place. We also have a lot of customers that purchase our bolt on models and have them welded at a later date. This helps reduce the labor cost on the installation.

If you have any questions regarding our product please ask and I will be glad to help. We have SFC's starting as low as $159.99 a set. Please take a look at the link below.

Thank you!

I have UMI's tubular sub frame connectors.

It will tighten up the chassis and give you a good place to jack your vehicle up from.

Definitely a good mod to do for $155 imo.

Just get the bolt-on, and then take it to an exhaust shop you trust and have them weld it in.

No problem jacking your car up by them, just don't scratch them!
