      These are nice and can go weld or bolt on.

      Hotchkis? you could probably bolt the rear (I weld the rear) and I bolt the front sub-frame mount, I don't know of any decent bolt on connectors that won't interfere with either ground clearance or the sub floor, maybe global west connectors but I have not used them

      The Hotchkis are the best fitting and require only 4 plug weld at the rear of the connector. I have had guys that got exhaust shops to do them. Pretty simple stuff.

      We have them for $300

      Just a note:
      Don't forget to get the soild body bushings and install them BEFORE welding in the subframe connectors.

      I have the Global West ones and they're fine and fit great. Welded the rear to frame rail and bolted front to stock sub frame. If I had to do it over again I would have done the Detroit Speed ones or if I didn't want to cut the floor whatever Frank at Prodigy suggested.

      Our new weld-in subframe connectors provide the best front-to-rear subframe connection possible. This design welds through the floor and into the formed subframe pocket under the rear seats. The front frame boxes can either be bolted or welded into place and BMR provides our exclusive Delrin body mount bushing for this connection point. Bolting in the front frame box (as opposed to welding it in) retains the ability to remove the front subframe while providing a solid connection to the subframe.
      Overall fit positions the subframe connector high in the chassis with no loss in ground clearance. The unique design does not conflict with seat mounts or spring pocket removal and has minimal footwell intrusion.

      We also have bolt-in subframe connectors for the First gen cars. These connectors are a perimeter design that tuck up in the rocker channel to prevent ground clearance loss. The rear bolts to key structural areas around the rear subframe and spring pocket. They are also provided with our exclusive Delrin body mount bushings.

      We always recommend welding in subframe connectors whenever possible. Ours are designed so you can bolt them in if absolutely necessary, but for maximum strength it's best to weld the bolt holes and if you're committed do a small perimeter weld around the front and rear backets.

      As Frank mentioned, many customers have had luck with Muffler shops doing the install. Just remember that it's critical that the rack they use is a drive-on rack where the car sits on the wheels with its full weight. Lifts that pick the car up by the frame don't work as the frame will not be settled correctly.
