I think "Diamond" is the manufacturer. Those are called three-point subframe connectors, and they add an additional point of connection with the vehicle. This seems like a good thing at first, but they don't specify what that third point is. It's not the frame of the car, since there is no frame anywhere near where that point would be. Maybe it's the transmission cross member?
If anyone knows where the additional connection point is for 3-point SFCs, and especially if they have the engineering background to comment on whether they actually add value, please comment.

I have Ken_Brown (I think not in bizz anymore?) D_diamond subframes. Welded. They tie front motor compartment + rear pan rails, and center pan + rockers (3 places) all together. Very rigid. I also have the KB street cage on top. I do not know who sells them. Maybe SpeedInc in Chi_town. I purchased them in 1998 (97ss M6 383ci D1). They also allow you to remove the eng and trans with good clearance. B.
