3 pnt subframes or regular boxed for my car?
I am caught between which to get. I have the tunnel mounted TA from UMI, and was wondering what SFCs to get for my Z. UMI recommended their 3 point with the TA I have, but I don't know if I really need them. The boxed weld in ones should be fine in my opinion. I do have a weld in wolfe 6 pnt. to tie everything together. What do you all think.

The reason they are recommending the 3-Points is they take the stress off the floor from your torque arm. I think that is your best bet depending on your power and how you drive the car. If its more on a street car lightly modded then the boxed would work IMO

personally i would think the role cage would give sufficient rigidity to make the SFC almost pointless
i would honestly save some weight and get the tubular 2pt pieces if you really want to install sub frames
