Looks like a nice set. Price isn't too bad either for a drive shaft loop as well.

I would find out more about the quality/grade of steel used and more details regarding the installation instructions. I was unable to find anything on their website with regard to the quality/grade of steel used and it only offered extremely brief installation instructions. No mention as to whether they bolton or weld on. I would want to make sure they weld in, as well as find out exactly where and how.
You might also what to find out whether these sub frame connectors work with other suspension components such as a torque arm or would there be clearence problems due to the X Brace.
Personally, I would not want to purchase and install them to only find out later that they have now limited my suspension upgrade options.

due to the holes they have I would say they are bolt on and not weld.

I would check to see how long they have been in business. Their web site said 36yrs "combined" experience, but that tells you nothing about how long they have been in business.
Find someone else running them. See what they have to say.

I am not here to impune a suspension company, but I do have some knowledge of Evolution Motorsports. They are a fairly new company. They have received a lot of talk on Corner-Carvers.com, good and bad.
We offer a Bolt-On X-Brace and a Weld-On. The Weld-On has no holes in it as the picture on our site shows the bolt-on. The weld-on has capped ends as well. We also offer a Full-Length weld on brace that is 16" longer than the standard one. If you follow this link you should be able to get the general information you are looking for; otherwise just ask.
We will be updating our site within the next few weeks to include pictures of all the braces as well as pdf files for the installation.
And yes we have received alot of talk on Corner Carvers. Not sure if there was much bad, maybe a bumpy start. Nevertheless, let us know if there are any questions.
Sorry if that didn't come out right Mike. It started out bad, but you guys did come back with your tech when pressed. MC says he likes his watts linkage, and I see that at least 1 other person has purchased one. He even added it to the "Babe of the Week."
Is it me or does that stuff seem kinda pricey? Reality check here...you can custom fab full length subframes and seat braces fairly inexpensively. Weld in is obviously better than bolt in, and in my opinion the only way to go. Same goes for that cross bracing. I guess the majority of folks want prefab, but on somethings a little research and some face time with a good muffler shop (for the fab work and install) you can really shore up your cars chasis for a fair amount of money. Drivehshaft loops arent that expensive either. On the other hand, Im sure their products work and they look really nice. Im a penny pincher though.

Since posting my last comment I have read quite a bit about this Evolution Motorsports and their products (I literally posted my reply and started reading some feedback on them on the web). From everything Ive read these guys have it together, well as of last month anyway. Product quality and customer support seemed to be pretty good. Im going to keep an eye on them because they appear to be a fairly new company with a lot of promise. Cant wait to see what else they offer.

For those interested, we have been able to get our manufacturing costs down, which means we can pass the savings on to you. Our X Brace is now $255.00 for the "Shorty" and $275.00 for the "Full Length". We have the Shorty braces in stock and the Full Lengths are on back-order.
