There is nothing wrong with jacking up the car using the subframe connectors. If you have them, that’s where you would do it.

I think he was just saying its worth the cost alone for subframe connectors because you CAN use them as a jacking point.

You want Maximum Motorsports part # MMFL-5B
There is no better option and Summit will price match anywhere you find it cheaper.

It's all good I'm going with sve though. I understand they're probably the best out there but I'm good with those

I will call BS on MM’s being the best. They are one of the best. My Coupe is a full MM suspension car but it has Global West lower subframes and Griggs Racing upper subframes. As long as the subframes are full length and with the rectangular units have a minimum wall thickness of 0.085” they will do what all of them are supposed to do.

You'll find that Maximum Motorsports is very supportive Customer Service wise and makes great products. Subframe connectors are a no brainer for first time mods. You may want to research mufflers as it will affect your hearing and neighbors assuming you keep the car long term.

The “ best” way to do it is actually have the subframes welded in/ through the floor but most do not and don’t need to go that extreme

Mine are actually cut into the floor and stitched into the floor pans as well as the frame rails , tq box under the car
