Whats the best subframe connector brand?

I'm looking for some good subframe connectors and found these on eBay, http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2459769145 I was wondering if you guys think they are good, or should I buy some other ones and which ones do you guys recommend? Also, are there better welding spots other than just the tips of the connectors? After looking at the pictures on this eBay auction, only the tips are welded and it seems like there is alot of stress on that part of the subframe connector. Do you guys recommend that if I buy those, I weld the sides of the subframe connector also besides just the tip welded in those pictures? Thanks.

Thanks. But I still want to know if these ones they are selling on ebay are good, for example I heard some SFC's suck and I don't want to get cheap ones. I like these ones on ebay because of how they are shaped to fit the frame really good and tight, but I am worried of them being made of some cheap metal or something. I didn't post this on the other thread below this one so I wouldn't hijack his thread and then people would get upset.

those look identical....and very well could be...BMR boxed sfc.

i should know i have them

VERY stout piece...the welding isn't bad, it's on some pretty major pieces of the frame. you will lose a bit of groud clearance with them unless you already have ground effects.

checkout the pics on page 3 of my site in the sig...lots of pics of mine installed

Thanks teke. Do you think the price they are selling them on ebay is resonable?

Yeah, they look like a stout piece. I bought my subframes off ebay and I'm happy with them. I got the tubular style which are practically BMR but slightly bigger. I'm finally getting them installed today (had em since x-mas, but had to do body work on the front end ).
