Best subframe connectors for my 97 WS6?

http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2005-...vortechv-1.JPG

I just got a Vortech so I need some SCF's. Which are the best ones? I plan on using weld-in ones unless someone can convince me otherwise. Thanks.

I recommend weld ins as opposed to bolt ins. We opted to have weld in fabricated. That's what we use on our project F-bodies as well as sell to all our customers

Best ones will be very opinionated.

I like SLP weld ins, This is my third fbody with them, and I recomend them to everyone thats looking.

SLP and kenny brown for double diamond SFCs , they work great and car will be soo much more sturdier

if u dont want double diamond, maybe for clearance reasons ,
BMR and Sphon make nice boxed/tubed ones

My car is already low (Eibach pro kit). I don't want to scrape the SFC's...would the double diamonds hang too low?

Another vote for the Hotchkis...Been on the car for 10 years running 11s on DRs, powder coat is still great, NO ground clearance issues at all. They are a little pricey, but well worth it.
