Not the cheapest.I like the way they bolt up with minimal drilling.

I think that many will agree ...... if you are looking to tighten-up a uni-body car ...a weld-in, that goes through the floor and into the front and rear longitudinals(sp) is the only way to go. Bolt-ins are a waste-of-time.

..... and the of most chassis guys I have seen.

I'm willing too Bet that you can buy them without driveshaft loop,coming soon home page needs to be updated,has been like that for months and months.I would contact them and see if they could fill you're needs.Weld in are best,But I understand with bolt in to save an original type car.especialy on I restored car,not wanting to disassemble and destroy new paint.I had them make a set for my 68 barracuda vert.solid -original sheet metal car,with the thought that I might want too remove them some day.wrong,My little 318 street car rides so much better with them installed(bolt in)I should've had them welded in because I'm not removing them.
I would contact them and see what they have for you.Small,side bussiness for them, so I'm sure websight is not up to date.

Why don't you just bolt a few 2x4's together and jam them up there? It will do just as good of a job.

Welding is the right way to do it.
Bolt ins will still have some flex and that is going to elongate holes and loosen up with time and right foot application.
I think it is U.S. autobody that makes some that follow the contour of the floor from underneath so the rug fits like stock......a weld in alternative that looks to work well on paper.
I am just not a fan of bolt in subframe connectors.

Direct Connection sold some connectors that I have on my car that are 1.5" X 2" and dont weld to the floor. The are welded in and are lot's easier to do than the others and work real well. Worth it to install them. They could be bolted or welded in, weld them.

A couple 4' lengths of tubing and your all set, real easy to do. You don't have buy em pre made.

And I don't see any issues with drive shaft loops.

2"x2" square tube frame connectors weld in an E without cutting or touching the floor and help a lot. Auto Rust Technicains sells them pre-cut or make your own.
