Best subframe connectors to go with?
Im looking at the BMR boxed SFC's.. But then there is the SLP ones that have an extra brace that goes down to the cross brace, but the subrame is bent and not straight like the BMR.. What do you guys think? Whats the Best to go with? any other opinions are welcome!

SLP cost more but it also depends on hat u want to do...i posted a thread on this b4
InjectedSS said this to me ..
Dude it totally depends on what your goal with the car is... If your going to drag race then go with some BMR boxed subframes.. If your all about the handling and twisties, then go with the diamond style sub frames and they will be more rigid.
But for drag racing, BMR Boxed Sub Frames are hands down the nicest I have ever seen

SLP DD they rock. and even kept the passanger compartment more square when it was hit. they took alot of the energy of hte hit, transfering it alover. I was hit rear pass side, but the front driver side where hte SFC was welded showed stress.
I order SLP ones as soon as I bought my new car.

Just remember, if you're planning to go with long tubes or already have them, the kenny brown double diamonds don't fit right with the LT headers! The BMRs do. This is what i have heard from others that have had that problem, anyway.

I don't see why people say the DD's interfer with long tubes, I put a set on a 96 SS last weekend. The SFC's don't come anywhere near the headers. A single cat car I think would have more problem than a car with LT's. I installed Kenny Brown's DD's and they went on easy.
