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.

DSE http://www.detroitspeed.com/productp..._body_prod.htm

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
