    DIY Subframe Connector Best Material

    Planning to fabricate my own subframe connector, seems to be doable. Not trying to be tight, but subframe connector + center reinforcement will be ridiculously expensive to ship to my country due to its awkward shape and dimensions. 

    What would be the best material to make it out of? Tubular like Maier Racing connector or square tubing like TCP?

    like always, thanks for the advices.

    That's flipping cool!! So the front side of the connector actually goes inside the front subframe yes? I suppose that would make it even more rigid and looks OEM....I will study the explanation and I might just go that direction.
    Thanks for the awesome DIY guide!!
