Sub-frame connector choices??

I been reading a lot about the different types of subframe connectors... I was going to go with SLP triangulated one. But after to talking to some don't know if its my best option.. I was going to go with spohn or bmr but then someone said that the 3 point one was the best all round one to get. I've only really seen slp's. My car is mostly a DD and the occasional street or strip race... What would be my best option ??

i got tubulars from J&M hotpart. Their by far the cheapest around, if price is any factor, and they look great. Ill just have to see how they go in. I dunno if you were looking at two points but i figure any 2 cents is good

Re: Sub-frame connector choices??

difference between the triangulated and regular 2 point SFCs is minimal in a DD car.

the BMR (or similar) are fine. they made a huge difference in the feel of my car.

pics can be found on page 3 of my website www.cardomain.com/id/teke184

For strength go with square, but you loose ground clearance... I went with BMR round tubing for clearance, because mine is a DD..

The round tubular ones are actually stronger than the square ones. UMI offeres pretty much all choices for you...they have 2pt square, 2pt tubular and 3pt tubular. Hopefully Ill be getting the 3pt tubular towards the end of the summer.
