Which Subframe connectors

Well I'm in the market for some subframe connectors, bolt on would be my preference. However, the subframe toward the front of car is pretty banged up. I'm guessing its from the previous owner using them to jack up the car. Does anyone know of any subframe connectors that bolt elsewhere? I have seen some weld on ones that weld to the frame before that subframe. I would just prefer to not have to find a welder around town to do it.

Thanks

Bolt in subframes are junk; just get the weld in ones from BMR or UMI. They'll do a lot better job, and having them installed shouldn't be that hard to find someone to do it.

You don't need a welder; just a collision shop or performance shop.

Spohn makes a good product as well.

I'm happy with the quality of my Spohn Torque arm, I'd look at the SFCs if you had provided a link.

Any muffler shop should have a welder capable of installing SFCs.

I've got Spohn 2 point weld on connectors, great quality but any of the UMI or BMR weld on would also work great!

I had a good amount of power being made before I put on my sub frames. The body was twisted, so I had to force the sub frames in place using a floor jack. I went with the BMR weld in sub frames, and the body is much stiffer, I notice it alot when the car hits second gear. The body used to twist but its straight now.
