Best SFC?

I was wondering whats the best SFC, and if any of em will cause problems with a custom ypipe and hooker longtubes? How much ground clearance will i lose? My ypipe hangs pretty damn low so i dont think it can get any worse?

Pics of some installed SFCs would be great.

i would just go with bmr tubulars. They do the job and fit well. Mine hang maybe 1/4 inch below the pinch weld and since they are black you don't even notice them. They are very cheap i got mine on a gp for 125 i believe i can get pics tom. if you want them.

I have Sybersport Double Diamond SFCs. Didn't lose ANY clearance.

I have Hooker Long Tubes and True Duals. My duals are lower than the SFCs.

One of the best suspension mods I have done.

Costs about $185 u.s. shipped to your door!!

info@sybersport.com

Tell Darren Grip sent you if you're interested in buying.

Tubular has better clearance but boxed is stronger. If it means anything to you I sell far more BMR boxed subframe connectors than tubular.

I've never actually driven in a car with tubular subframe connectors so I can't say for sure. I would imagine that the feel of the car would be about the same.

It's worth it though. When you're on a flat road or taking a sharp corner the subframe connectors make a world of difference.

Another vote for the tubular BMRs here. I have them and love them, great way to stiffen the chassis with little loss in ground clearance.

I have the boxed Sybersports and my car is stiffer now after the T-top conversion than it was without SFCs when I was a hardtop without SFCs.

Depends what you mean by "best".

IMO, For the Price, the Ground Clearance and Light Weight, the DMS SFC are the best .

For Best over all rigity, I hear Kenny Brown are the Best.

I have DMS and they worked great, I immediately felt a huge difference in the car, how it handled, it felt more rigid, there was less squeeks and rattles and the ground clearance was awesome. I think they cost me like ~150 shipped too. My car wieghs over 3850#s at the time so I did not want to add more weight by adding the bigger heavier ones from SLP or Kenny Browns. I really like the DMS SFC and would highly recommend them.

My 2 Cents,
Claude
