Initially, I bought the MOPAR Performance Bolt-In subframe connectors. Seems to me I still needed to modify (cut and re weld) them to get them to fit, and I welded them in place. They were sort of flimsy in my opinion, so when I welded in the Roll Bars, I removed the MP connectors and welded in 2x3 straight rectangular tubing, notched the floor pan and fully welded connectors to floor pan. Repainted everything when completed. A whole lot stiffer, removed the body flex.

Fit the connectors to the floor with no gaps then weld plates(maybe four) at the top of the U with a nut welded in. Then bolt to floor with plates like the seat reinforcements, these will tie the floor to the connectors since the floor is a structural member of the car. Won't be as good as welding but... Then you only have eight 3/8" holes in the floor.
