KBDD's myself. First mod I did. Well worth it. If anyone has any hangup's on installing SFC's...get over it. If you plan on keeping your car for a long time, the initial investment will be worth it in the long run. The difference will be noticed the first time you drive it.

Madman (the resident chassis builder here on this site) will tell you the same thing.

Thanks for info.

I run the KBDD's and am very pleased with the increased stiffness of the chassis. You definitely feel the shocks doing their work now rather than the body. It also launches very flat and doesnt tweak the car like before.

Is there any problem with the KBDDs on a vert with headers? I know when I put the headers on I had to remove some sort of xbrace under the car so now Im looking to add SFCs since I lost that piece.
