Subframe connectors. It basically ties the frame together, which is good for several reasons.

^^^ Yea same goes for me. I had a brain fart.

I don't have them on my car, but I have heard that the stiffness they provide force all of the power to go to the wheels instead of being loss in body flex. Don't know if its true but it makes sense. Also, the car runs like its on rails in the twisties.

I think the spinning can be quelled with stickier tires/ diff rear end.

I don't mean to hijack this thread but what is the average price to get these welded in?
