Boxed are supposed to be stronger than tubular, but the tubulars tuck up better. I heard BMR's boxed SFCs tuck up a little better now, but I'm not too sure. Make sure to get weld in SFCs too.

Yup what he said. Boxed are stronger. Tubular are ideal for a lowered car or in situations where you can't have anything lower than the car already is itself. Both are a great addition so either will make you happy. I'm going with boxed for the simple reason that I like the fact that you can see them subframes running along the sides of the bottom. It's probably just me, but I think it looks good. Definately get the weld in.

i do plan on lowering the car not for at least a couple months tho and not more than an inch so i guess the tubular would work better thanks for all the info
