Default Best subframe connectors?

In doing research I hear that some subframe connectors are fairly worthless, but can't find which one is best. Anyone have any recommendations?

Thanks!

Depends on what the plan is for your car,do you just want to stiffen up the chassis some or are you going drag racing with big power coming on with a hard launch?
Not sure what's out there for first gens,I bought BMR bolt in connectors to stiffen up my 4th gen and they are find for what I wanted out of the car.
When I was shopping I saw some with a sturdy crossmember containing a driveline loop that are much stronger and better suited for drag racing.

Ok so the sky's the limit,you car start with a sime bolt in like this at about $ 123

Up a complete chassis like this for about $13,000.

What's your goal and budget?

Bottom line sub frame connectors bolt to the same front & rear locations on a otherwise stock 1st gen front & rear sub frame car. I find "name brand" (Hotchkis, DSE, etc) are way more $ than store brand (Jegs, Summit). In the end they are steel stock sized and plate welded to them to attach to the front & rear sub frames.

I have "Summit" brand and they fit and work fine.

If you have aftermarket 4 link rear than sub frame connector can be specific to that brand of 4 link

Occasional drag racing, currently have 500 HP forged stroker. It is set up for nitrous or a blower, I do plan on one or the other eventually. I will probably get drag radials so it should hook up. I just don't want to bend anything, misaligned the body panels, break glass, etc.
