You can easily make your own for 20 bucks if you have a welder, tape measure, grinder and cutoff wheel. After I received my Competition Engineering connectors fifteen years ago, I told myself, never again would I pay 150 bucks for what is nothing more than two four foot lengths of 1.5x2 with a flat plate on one end and a simple three sided box on the other.

I installed them on my Duster, easy to install and I plan on having my buddy weld them on next time my car is in his garage.

I have welded in the MP bolt in units in my Charger. The car must be sitting on all four tires when welded. I went to a muffler shop. There is no interference with the e brake cable. Made a difference in the ride over bumps.

Quite happy. I bolted mine in originally then had someone weld them later. You want the car to be as level and straight as possible when they get welded.

It gave the car more stability.

You'll want to go back in later and weld these in. A component like this really should be burned in to reduce compliance.
