Are you referring to weld/bolt in subframe connectors?

they look like they will work but i would put a couple of tack welds on them too. i just got done welding my driverside rear wheel well back in. i guess there was a little bit a twist on that unibody. let me know how those work out for you and how much i might be intrested in a pair

i was just laying up under my car trying to figure out what is the rear tie in point? i got the front but the rear does it mount to the leaf spring mount or what planing on putting at least 450 -500 hp to the tire so i'm concerned about the front rear leaf spring mounts. thanks
