Subframe connectors choice???

How much better and stronger are the "diamond" styl SFCs than say a boxed BMR SFC? I here you cant use them with the trac pack torq arm? Should probly tell about the car too it will be a 4th gen fbody with a gen1 383 with about 550hp probly a th350 for a tranny. Im in the process of building the engine and was just wondering what route to go with the suspension and chassis.

Personally I'd argue that they're no stronger or "better", but then I like to argue that one because essentially everyone will tell you that the SFC's they happened to use were really great.

The DD's will help tie in the floor pan better, but I don't think that's necessary. Especially if you get the track pack, it will tie in the floor pan anyway. Also, some aftermarket exhaust systems won't work with DD's.

I believe that if you're going to do anything with twisties then some sort of DDs are in order. Now if you're like me and go straight all the time tubular or boxed will suffice.

Just be sure and get boxed. I have the BMR Boxed weld-ins and have no complaints.
