Best function - DSE
Best fit and (once welded in) reversibility - Hotchkis

I wouldn't expect too much from pure bolt in SFCs.

Yup, the best are DSE and are a through floor connector that requires going through the rear foot pan and requires interior removal. If you down to a shell and can do the welding, there is not doubt DSE is the way to go.

Hotchkis makes the best under car connectors. We sell a lot of Hotchkis frame connectors.

Much less expensive than Hotchkis if you and install them yourself. If not, than probably more expensive than Hotchkis.

I would go with the DSE there not to bad to install. I made my own and it cost me 30.00 in materials plus time but I do not have stock rear frame rails in my car. through floor connectors look better too. my 2 cents worth

Anthing DSE you can't go wrong. I like how mine tuck up out of site and look like they belong.

If you are going to be welding them in why not just buy some raw materials. Some 2x4 steel tube and modify it as you need to. Maybe Im missing the "weld in" part. Just welded into the front and rear but not the floor?? I have 2x4 steel connectors that sit above the rockers but I had to notch out the entire floor (actually made a new floor pan) to fully weld them into the floor. So is that it? They are welded into the front and rear while not having to modify the floor? If so I gotcha :) JR

Not sure what type of vehicle you have, but our subframe connectors are CAD designed for easy installation, maximum ground clearance and superior torsional rigidity. They tuck up tight and you can hardly see them on the car unless you get down on the ground, since they match the contours of the undercarriage.
