Most definitely. They made a night-and-day difference on my car, though I did some other suspension mods at the same time...

IMHO, it's money well-spent.


[Edit] These will mostly help with overall handling -- not so much just straight-line performance...

SFCs do indeed help with straight line performance. They help to make the frame one peice so it does not give any during launching. The STB helps to keep the engine bay from flexing under acceleration as well. But IMO it helps more for road racing.

They help much more for handling than for launching.

I love mine, but didn't notice much difference in launching.

I noticed a stiffer feeling when launching, corners are tighter to.
