The first time you take a corner at 50mph with them you will notice. Sticks to the road, instead of feeling like the body wants to lift up.

Well worth the money, might be the best 200 I spent.

 

Absolutly I noticed a difference! It was immediate in the parking lot. A buddy of mine rode over in the car with me, and he was in it when I took it for a test drive. The second I turned the wheel we both noticed it. Before the car was slow to react and you could feel the body roll. With the SFC' (and I had a STB put on as well) you could feel the difference. The car can turn much harder now than before. Also, my car makes much less noise lol.

 

It's comments like that that makes the arguement moot.

2 pieces of steel welded on the ends BEHIND the firewall and IN FRONT of the LCAs has NO AFFECT ON BODY ROLL.

Well, unless they are made of solid lead ... then yes, it will affect body roll ... and ride height.

 

yes it will affect body roll because the weight of the will transfer to the suspension much better due to the body not being able to flex in the middle

 

Go do a hard launch on slicks and you may wish you had them....

 

If you have that much flex during a turn, the seams between doors, fenders, hoods and hatches would be collapsing, the roof would be wrinkling and the pan would be stress cracking.

Grab opposite ends of a soda can and twist it back and forth. What happens?
Does running 2 pieces of wire along either side of the can make a difference in the effort it takes to destroy the barrell of the can?

On a hard launch, all the weight is in the rear. The SFCs are way forward of all the axle twist and forward of the forward most rear suspension mount.

Now, landing a wheel stand, I could see how they would help.

 

I like this explanation. If there really was that much flex, the metal panels would be toast in no time.

 

night and day difference in my car, way less squeeks and rattles. (still got some though )

 

I put my UMI's on last w/e, WOW. I drove to the shop 20 miles absorbed everything i could gathered all the data I could, then stuck it on a alignment rack (to install and normall ride level) and drove it home and it was amazing. Ill tell ya how hard core I got about it, I took 2/3 bolts out of the consol and watched it dance around b4 the install, and after watched it lay completly still on the way home. same road ame drive home.

 

The question is.....



Where could someone get a "Strain guage" thingy?

 

Why wouldn't subframe connectors help on a launch? On a hard launch it is pretty obvious that the body of the car will twist, if it didn't then we wouldn't have people that get one front tire off the ground....or people who have leaking t-tops because of launching to hard to many times. This is where the SFC come in....reducing body twist

I don't understand why people are saying they feel no seat of the pants improvement, it isn't a horsepower mod...its suspension. I haven't felt a SOTP improvement with any suspension mod I have done, sure the car hooks better but it certainly doesn't go any faster than before.

all in all they are a great investment.
