My top two would be BMR or Kenny Brown.

Go with BMR, if you're trying to save a little money.

I've never heard of Kenny Brown but is that TR as in Thunder Racing?

Cost really isnt an issue, I just want the best ones available.

Bolt-on sounds like the easiest, but would they eventually rattle? I was really hoping to find someone who has them.
I like the looks of the hotchkis, but the slp's look more functional.
Is the kenny brown a weld on?

Call me crazy, but the bmr just doesn't look to me like it would support as well as the slp's would.

I

have the SLP bolt on SFC and I have not had a problem with them at all. I never hear them rattle and have cured my rear bumper squeak. I addition to the SFC I also had a BMR Tunnel Brace added which I also recommend because the factory one just looks weak.

SLP Bolt on's. I had these installed by a reputable shop as I did not have a hoist. Cost was $ 80.They are great and the car handles awesome.It does exactly what it says it does, pins the body up with 3 points, not 2. They are boxed, strong and if you think for some strange reason they may, come loose, you can always weld them. Either way they are well worth it. Don't waste your money on the Kenny B. DD, they are a waste of money, you can tell just by looking at their construction how cheap they are.

Lan01z, If installed correctly the SLP bolt-on's won't come loose, also the Kenny Browns are weld-on's ( I don't think they come powder coated either ). Here's a link for installing the SLP SFC's, http://users3.ev1.net/~cnl1/firehawk/subframe/index.htm

I would pass on the spectaclesolutions unless they've made some improvements, poor packaging, thin powder coating and smaller bolts/ washers. JMO

Thumbs up

Another vote for SLP bolt on's, I have mine on for over 2 yrs. now, with no problems what so ever. A quality product. Use red loktite on the bolts, and they will never get loose.

I went with the BMR boxed weld ins. No offense to the bolt in guys but I feel better about the weld ins. I'm sure the bolt ins are fine but I have heard a few people complain about them. To me I'd rather pay 150 for the weld ins and another 75 (what I payed) to a shop to get them welded. Not going anywhere. Boxed or tubular are fine either way but i went with boxed. If money is no object and you want the absolute best i guess I would go with either KB DD, slp, or spectacle solutions triangulated and have them bolted and welded. To be honest I don't you would feel the difference between ANY of them unless you are a very serious autoX person. Even then it might not matter.

Just an FYI I think the triangulated ones (kenny Brown DD and slp bolt on) can get in the way of LT header setups. You can still get LT's but I think you have to have some fabricating done on the y pipe or something. Just throwing it out there - i might be wrong
