Wrap around sub frame connectors

About the only thing I like about the magnumforce design is that they capture and reinforce the torsion bar cross member. Other than that they seem kinda gimicky. You can do the same thing with a large landing plate. I don't know why Magnumforce is still using round tubing, they're the only ones that do.

As for the US Cartool connectors, I installed a set on my Dart. And I could tell you I'd never do it again unless I was working on a car that had been media blasted and was on a rotisserie. There's probably 10x as much welding to install the US Cartool connectors as anything else, and if you're doing it upside down with the slag falling on you it gets old real fast. On that note, I know of more than a few cars that have had subframe connectors installed while on rotisseries. The chassis does not need to be loaded for installation, just don't be stupid about it.

As for powdercoating and all that, I've installed a set of Hotchkis subframes too. They come all nice and completely powdercoated. And you still have to remove the powdercoating at the ends where all the welds go, just the way it is. You can't make subframes for these cars without allowing for body tolerances, no matter which ones you use you will need to do some fitting to make them work on your car. The US Cartool connectors require a crap ton of fitting to get them nicely gapped to the floor panels.
