3 Point SFC's???
Getting to finally get to do these tomorrow. Two questions though. What should the bolt torque be on the bolts (front, center, rear) and should the center plate go above or below the plate on your torque arm relocation bracket? Thanks!

What I did for torque on the bolts was 50lbs for the front, 30lbs for the center, and I believe the instructions said 72lbs for the rear. I believe also the instructions said the torque arm relocation bracket goes below the center mounting point of the SFC's...meaning the center plate on the SFC is touching the underside of the car. Hope that helps and good luck with the install.
Put mine on last week and they made a great difference. Took me about 2 hours to get them put on, but that was with the hassel of trying to get the car off of the ground (took about an hour). I definitely think they were one of the best mods suspension wise for a convertible.

On the center mount, the plate of your SFC should be touching the car.
Install instructions attached.

The car is way tighter. It is incredible. I was taking turns at speeds that I never would have tried before I installed them. It came to the point where my seats didn't offer enough support to hold me while going around some of the turns. It may be time to buy some recaros.

I'll say my car was stiffer for the drive home after getting the SFC's installed. Took some curves faster then normal and didn't feel body roll...just my seat's lumbar support not holding me as good as before.
Glad to hear they worked well for you.
If anyone has some results please post, we like hearing them.
Unfortunately I haven't driven my car since I installed them, its either on the rack in pieces or at a show
