  • Subframe connectors boxed or tubular?

    Which would you recommed? Also welded or bolt on, does it make that much difference?

    boxed seem to have more strength and are generally recommended over tubular. And weld-ins are going to be stronger and have less flex. Plus they are cheaper to boot.

        I put jacks on my tubulars, no problems. I guess it is just a preference.

            they say tubular are better for clearance issues, but my exhaust hangs lower than my boxed UMI SFCs...so, if I hit anything, it still isn't going to be the SFCs

                Boxed have a tendency to be stronger, and weld-on is better than bolt on.
