SFC's

Global West 905's are the best I have found. They weld-in, brace the chassis nicely, and tuck up under the car so well that they can't been seen unless you slide completely under the car.
I personally have never seen any benefit in using the diamond style SFC's - I know they look like they would work better... but in street cars I don't realy see any additional benefits.
In a race car you are going to run a cage that will tie the chassis up better than a diamond style SFC could anyways

I have LG Motorsports G2 Tubular Subframe Connectors. They tuck up great and boy did they make a difference!!!!!!!!!! I got a really good deal on them off a guy on ls1.com, otherwise, they're a little expensive, and I probably would've gone with the BMR Tubular SFC's. All the brands are basically the same, so it depends on what kind you want, and how much you wanna spend!

I have some BMR sfc going on tonight. They look top notch quality. I'm sure they'll perform the same way.

Honestly, I think it's about the money you want to spend. I haven't heard any negative comments about any sfc other than some don't tuck up underneath the car as well as others.

I have the Spectacle Solutions Double Diamond SFC's (www.SpectacleSolutions.com)

They are bolt on, but have never loosened up. You can always weld them in if you want to.

I got the G2s also---they are STOUT!!! Yeah, instant difference in feel. I think with all the new stuff that comes out, you're gonna here that the new stuff is always better...may be------but my subs are welded tight and they aren't goin' nowhere!!!!

BMR. My Z28 had them, and now my Formula has an identical set.

There's a reason for that

I was getting the KBDD also, even though they are the best I decided no to. because they also weigh the most and they are overkill. But if you want the strongest, those are the ones to go with.

Now I am going with the Global West SFC's, they are supposed to be the 2nd strongest and weigh a lot less.

Both tuck under very well, but the KBDDs are huge.

Your making a good decision with whichever you go with.
The DDs are about 240 and the GWs are about 190. Has anyone seen the GWs cheaper?

Nice looking car on that spohn web site.

Always makes me feel a little tingly looking under a car with LTs, Cats, and a pretty exhaust

BTW that looks like a GMMG exhaust, correct me if I am wrong
