Question Hotchkis Sub Frame Connectors

Looking around at all the SFC's it looks like the Hotchkis ones are quality made. I know I don't need KBDD's or the SLP's. The car is just a daily driver, with an occasional trip to the 1/4 track.

I am curious though where exactly the weld points are on the Hotchkis set. they look like they tie in differently than BMR's. Does anyone have any install pics of the Hotchkis SFC's? Or any for that matter, interested in comparing everything that is out there...

TIA....

Re: Hotchkis Sub Frame Connectors

I wish I had some pictures of mine to show you and all I can say is that Hotchkis tuck very nice under the car. That may be a concern because of clearance issues when your car is lowered cuz if you live in a complex with speed bumps, you dont wanna scrape. Slp's and other three point sfc's may stick out towards the front since the front mounts into a different location, kinda diagnol on some of them I beleive. Also, three point sfc's may get in the way of custom exhaust setups and getting to your fuel lines but whats good about three point sfc's I would think is that it braces the front and back chasis as well as from side to side to some extent but you have a daily driver so I would just do a two point sfc. I suggest the Hotchkis two point sfc since they fit snug inside or a bmr sfc but shop around cuz theres a few out there, you do however have to move the brake lines and might have to cut the fuel line and fab it up with a fitting or hose and clamps to fix it since it will be in the way but I think that goes with any sfc I think bcuz of where it mounts. Anyhow, search in here since theres so much info.
