I inquired 3 or 4 times and gave up. They look like a good product when available.

you can always go with BMR from one of the sponsors. theyre a proven company with tons of supporters. the only reason i would consider going with Spectacle over BMR is for that jack point on their subframe connectors, but that can be added to any brand subframe.

Ive been looking at BMR for a while and I cant find a full SFC'c with the crossbrace, and i was wondering if anyone knew if there was a big difference in the regular, and the cro-moly STB???

if youre interested in diamond style subframes like the spectacles, then you might as well just suck it up and get the best, Kenny Brown. but, i personally dont see the point in getting the diamond ones. its over-overkill. plus the fact that they are a pain in the *** when they get in the way whenever you want to do underbody work. the BMR boxed are more than you'll ever ever need, and the tubular's are more than adequate. any brand is actually. and as far as the chrome moly STB goes...chrome moly is extremely strong considering its light weight. but in all honesty, the effects of the STB are minimal to begin with so if you get the mild steel or chrome moly, it wont make a difference unless youre worried about weight like i am. thats the only reason i got the chrome moly version.

Last time I talked to Brian, he was considering getting out of the fabrication business for a while. He's got a baby due .. well, his [i]wife[/b] has a baby due.

He might still do special orders if you ask him, but it will be whevenever he gets around to it. Personally, I've been waiting since either March or May, I don't remember.

His products are incredible and everyone with West Tennessee F-Body has his SFC and STB installed. He has promised to get my set completed shortly.

If you want it before Thanksgiving, you may as well shell out the $$$ for SLP or KennyBrown.

So if the diamonds are overkill, then which would be better boxed to tubular?? and also what kind of shops weld in SFC's??? OR is it better to get bolt on ones???

I suggest and use 2 point tubular SFC's. I have Wolfe Racecraft connectors from AMS on the T/A.
