The my car needs some subframe connectors to help stiffen the chassis up and I'm wanting to get bolt in subframe connectors that way I can make sure my chassis is straight. There are several options out there to point or three point and several different brands what does everybody think the best fitment is?

I guess all depends what your plans with the car are. in my LS1 car that was a street/strip car that ran 12s I ran 2 point weld in. the track only 94, 95, 97 we have that runs 10s we have 3 point weld in. obviously 3 point is gunna be better then 2 point but you gotta decide do I need the 3 point. as far as the bolt in verse weld in, id never run bolt in personally but that's just me.
I've never used bolt-in, either. I have Spohn weld-in and they fit really well.

MWC weld in SFC would be the stuff I would get if I did not have my bar in the car.
LOVE Those guys! sadly I did not see and 3ptQuote:

LTXtech.com is my drug...
Many years ago, I approached a gentlemen who used to design a chassis for a local company. Daytona something or other, I don't recall. He was on a few weekend TV shows talking about his work. At the time, he just opened a garage not far from me and had a 6 second 1st gen Camaro. He was the only guy in 30+ miles who would install gears in my car lol.
Anyway, I asked him about SFCs and he immediately asked if I would eventually want a rollbar. The reasoning was that he would tied them into the rollbar somehow. Ever since then, I thought about that being "the ultimate" in hardening the chassis, but it's not something you just bolt in. I'm not an engineer and just took his word for it.
For what it's worth, I ended up buying Spohn due to cost.
Edit: Highland Daytona Racing (their website is broken, but they were out of Allentown PA)
That's EXACTLY the way I told my installer to do my custom chrome-moly roll bar and SFC's, 18 years ago. The roll bar components and SFC's all come together at the subframes, front and rear. Makes perfect sense to an “Injuneer”.
If you do a cage and SFC iv always tied them in together when using weld in components. in my eyes your essentially building a mini chassis in your chassis at that point. much more solid
Thank you both for chiming in. It makes perfect sense. In the 15 years I've been carrying this information around in my head, I'm glad it wasn't bogus.
Good idea ... that settled that ... weld in subs and weld the cage to that.
