Default What brand subframe connectors?

I'm looking to buy some subframe connectors pretty soon. I was wanting to here people's experiences with different brands. I want some that can be both bolted and welded up. At first I am going to bolt them up, and in a few months I will have me a shop where I can weld and I will weld them in place then. Anyone know of a good set that can do both? Thanks.

Do weld ins youd be better off. Im runing UPR Full Length XLs on my car and love them. Everyone else will probably say maximum motorsports.

^ those are always the best kind. Actually my friend made his own double barred sub frames for like 50 bucks... kind of like taking two maximum motorsports on each side... Im jealous.

if you have excess to a tubing bender and a welder you could make some killer subframe connectors for very cheap.

maximum sport weld ins you can't go wrong. Just make sure you take it to a shop that does them on a regular basis. It makes the car feel not a like a ford.

i looked at these, but i have a hard time justifying buying a square tubeular piece of steel for the amount they want. I think i will make my own, but the thing that scares me is how close the fuel/brake lines are to the welding area...

They will definitely be welded in eventually. I can weld myself and by the end of the year I will have my own shop with a lift. But I will be going to the track again before this so I'm looking to do a few traction mods, and for now I was wanting to bolt a set up that can be welded later. Anyone know of a good set that can do both?
