I just saw Sphons new sub frame connectors and they are now the tube style instead of the rectangular design.

My question is, which one do you guys think is better?

Will the tube style ones hold up just as well as the other design?

Thanks, Ken

I think box would be stronger and easyer to weld in. Tubular would work just as well.

I got the Alston ones and am happy with them. Just another option

Another vote for the Alston's.http://www.alstonracing.com $189 a set#102411 82-92 f body bolt in..and then weld later on.

I have 2 fbodys and I think the box ones are better. Go with the weld in they are much better. Also get a strut tower brace. What a difference. It will handle like it is on rails. 99% of sqeeks and rattles will be gone.

I whent over to the aliston site but the picture is so damn small I can't make out what they look like!

They kind of look like they are tubed style.

If the boxed style is stronger why is sphon changing their design over to the tube style? I don't get it!

I would say that the tube types are stronger. Another thing is the metal used. Alstons are tube design. They fit in neatly.

With the square design they said to weld in every six inches.

Do you still do that with the tubes or do you just weld it in on the ends?
