No torque box damage? just cuz i know the poly bushings bind some times and fuck them up. i need something cuz my rear suspension is so shot my lil 6er has wheel hop on cornering. and when i hit a set of tracks my ass end bounces.

The subframe connectors look cool too.

I got steeda control arms, but they are solid units like the one's you are looking at, so can't be much difference. I think c/a's are one of the best mods that can be done, and that's from a drag racing stand point, I don't have any opinions on them under road course driving.

make sure when they are welding the sfc's on that you have bearing weight instead of hanging tires.
