Do I need them on a coupe as I've heard the coupe is a lot more rigid than a T-top car. If so what one is the best weld on? Some brands like SLP have more to them than UMI. Plus I'm finally getting my Kooks longtubes installed the 2nd week on January, will that cause a fitment problem with the subframe connectors?

SFCs are always a good upgrade for an fbody, I am getting mine installed this summer and I have a hard top. Which arent really hard tops, just a plastic painted cover when you take that off the A pilars are re-enforced but not by much.. For straighter launches, less body flex and a better handling car in general.. SFCs are bang for buck. period.

UMI, BMR, Spoon, Hotchiks(sp?) are the suspension brands I trust.

my 94 was a hard top and I noticed them the moment I backed it out of the garage. you will notice them! bolt on vs weld in is a preference, I did BO and was good. LTs do not interfere with SFCs.

If you are interested in the UMI SFCs they are having a sale the 25th and 25th I am participating in:

i just got mine installed yesterday.
Night and day difference!
It's hard to explain but the car just feels better belt with it. The car drives smoother, takes turns better, and the nose doesnt come up as much when you give it the gas.

And if you get the boxed style ones, you can use the SFCs as jack points. That reason alone is worth the install

if anything i would think a t-top car would need them more. But i didn't notice any kind of handling difference in my car before i converted it to t-tops
