Does anyone run the S+W Racecars F body subframe connectors? They have crossmember with a bracket for an adjustable torque arm and appear to have a drive shaft loop.

I have an S&W 8pt roll bar but not the SFC's. I spoke with someone on LS1Tech about their TA and they said it sucked and their customer service was horrible. I talked to S&W several times before buying from em and they were great. The floor plates to my bar were missing when I got it and they over nighted them the next day no questions asked. It was supposed to only come with 6 but they sent 8 to compensate for them missing from the orignial box, which was torn open! The SFC's they make look like nice pieces but I don't hear anyone useing them. You might look into what TA and exhaust you want to run in the future to ensure it'll all be compatable!;) As for SFC's I'm using Competition Engineering bolt on's that I've welded, no compalints.

I got some UMI 3 point subframe connectors, I got them from Shon Herron, he gave me a hell of a deal

I got the whole rear suspension and subframes from him and he gave me a big discount. He is a pretty cool guy, great customer service

I haven't ran the s&w subframe connecters but the problem with most of the subframe connectors on the market is there heavy and mount under the rocker panel which is a fairly rigid part of the car. If it is an all perpose car I would say the benifit is there but not optimal. A boxed thru the floor or under the floor subframe connector is going to siffen the car more.

I'm talking about something like what wolfe has on their site for a thru the floor subframe connector or something like what is on my car. I'll have to try and get some pictures in the next week. But it is a 1X2 rectangle tubing that is welded under the rear subframe and welded to the side of the front subframe. It is also welded to about 6 inches of the floor in the center.
