Do SFC's make the car more noisy?

I'm thinking of adding sub frame connectors to my vert and was wondering how they affect the ride of the car.
I know they'll stiffen up the car but was wondering if they transfer more noise and vibration to the cabin.
People who put in SFC's. what kind of ride quality did you get and how smooth and quiet does the car feel in regular driving and at 80+ mph highway speeds.
Thanks in advance.

The added stiffness of the SFC reduces squeaks and rattles as flexing promotes noises.

If it did...I didn't notice a big increase in my car.

But it wouldn't outweigh the benefits I've felt with the car with SFCs installed. Just do one turn or lane change on the highway and you'll feel the difference.

Too bad you get used to the feeling after a while, and forget about how the car felt before a mod.

They actually quieted a couple of things on my car and even if they did transfer a whole bunch of noise, I wouldn't have cared. Handling is incredibly better.

I put KBDD subframes on my 94 way back and did not notice any more noise at all.

I did, but that's just me. The handling is a lot better though and would highly recommend the KBDD.
