What brackets do you mean. Most SFC's just use the front bolt of your rear control arms, and get bolted/welded in the front and in the middle if applicable.

SubFrame Connectors are a great modification and were pretty much the first thing I did on my 96 T/A, and just welded a set in my 86 earlier today. I would recommend doing that first before anything else cause they are worth it/

If you want the best swaybars for a 4th gen, look up Sam Strano. He specializes in suspension packages, and he knows 4th gens very well. He offers a 35mm front, and 22mm rear bar for our cars. I have these, along with a set of Koni adjustables, the car rides and handles like a dream. Give him a call, and he will set you up.

BMR is too heavy and hotchkis is too thick. bmrs barely offer much of an upgrade over 1LE with a huge weight penalty. its actually a retarded setup and rarely will you find someone running them.

hotchkis bars are ungodly big and make your car stiff as hell. they are hollow as opposed to the solid BMR bars but are still too large. they make the car hard to control and prone to traction loss.

like the fellow who posted above me noted, the strano bars are the best choice. i am ordering them for my car this month and i recomend you do the same. strano is the truth.

MTG, those brackets of the subfames, just fit around where the stock location is, they dont move the attachment point of the LCAs.
