BS How would you know??
I did my connectors the same way, night and day difference. If I place a jack under the diff on one side it attempts to lift the whole side of the car. I would say they are very helpful.

I know some connectors are pretty detailed with the custom fitting ridges, etc, but I'm just looking for some bolt-on or weld on straight square connectors. Anybody sell these fairly inexpensively?
Also, has anyone made their own????
I made my own for around 36 bucks in material. A little cut here and a weld there, and I'm good to go.
Follow the link Joe provided, that's how I did mine, works well.

....you don't like it ? ...change-the-channel(don't read it - what-the-hell - if you find it that offensive USE the ignore feature).
That is what most people that have over a room-temperature IQ do.

much to the chagrin of everyone here i got the MagnumForce double tube style ones. Bolt on each end and to the floors.
I just finished looking at the Magnum Force website and this is what I think I'll go with. Do you notice a difference? And can you tell when you lift one corner of the car up?

You haven't been important enough to take the time to ignore... I guess now that you're on my ignore list you've moved up a rung! Congrats.

Made my own on my '73 charger, used 1x3 rectangle tube. Welded from where frame horn for rear meets the cross frame (?) on the chassis to where the front frames meet the torsion bar cross member. My crappy former 18 year old selfs welding skills weren't very good but they made an IMMEDIATE difference. They are not straight, or should say parallel, with the rockers because the frame rail come in at different places but I thought it would make more sense to put a direct link between those frame pieces.
Cost me little to nothing and they DONT hang down at all! you have to look up from the pinch point of the rockers to see them.
Make your own, quick, easy, and cheap. You don't have to cut up the floors like everyone tries to convince you. Its not a roll cage.

I'm not trying to be difficult, it comes naturally....

depending on what class your in for scca rules only allow bolt-in connectors - not welded in. Thats only if your running in autox...and if you care..
