I'm partial to UMI suspension but what would you guys recommend? Welded or a bolt on? I know UMI offers both.

Kinda defeats the purpose but I agree. Just get weld on to begin with.

I will let you know how the UMI weld in's fit later this week. I've had them for weeks but haven't installed them yet.

Does it really make a difference if they're 3 point sfc's or not?

I've always heard not to go tubular unless ground clearance is a major issue. Square

You'll find soooo many opinions on SFCs on here. It's worse than picking a cam. The only consensus that I've heard is welded, welded, welded.

Sorry to steal...

Will SFC's help any car (no matter what power level) or is it mainly for the big dogs?
