I'm cheating on yall with pro-touring. I doubled down and posted the same question over there and I did not think I would get a response as fast as I did. Someone over there replied and had a photo of them bolted up just now. I have the link below if anyone was interested.

There's a lot of pro touring cheaters on here :grouphug: My name is Bad Bowtie and I am a cheater... lol

Like I mentioned I will be doing the same thing in the coming months and I've decided to bolt mine in as I really don't want to cut them off if I ever needed to remove the subframe. Cutting would make a mess of my undercoating or paint. Either way I think bolting is still strong enough and tie everything together nicely.

Current DSE installed connector guys, do they stiffen things up enough that if you jack up a front corner it will also lift the rear wheel at some point? Someone on pro-touring mentioned the Chassiworks g-connectors accomplishing this. I know there is more going on with this system but the price tag is a little much but not totally out of the budget.

DSE subframe connectors all the way.
When we installed my factory subframe, I used DSE subframe connectors.
Check out how we did our connection to keep the subframe removable..,
Crush tubes welded into the subframe, stainless bolts lathed off to proper length, and actually constructed a "cantilever" joint between subframe and connectors, which by the way, are welded halfway in the floorpans, and halfway out. That creates tremendous strength, both in bending moment, and in compression/tension. The steel wrap we used was an 1018 alloy carbon steel 3/16" thick. All TIG'ed up with ER70S2 filler rod.

And YES, you can jack on the front and lift the entire side of the car with negligible flexibility.
