best SFCs for verts
The triangulated KBDDs are much stronger than any single-beam style SFC like BMRs, much more resistance to twisting of the floor pan. I hadn't heard that they are no longer being made, glad I have mine.

KB got the best reviews when i was shopping for them, but they are indeed out of business. i heard that from several dealers, and was lucky enough to find a set still in stock somewhere. their website is up, but phone is disconnected. i felt like they made a huge difference in stiffness, rattles, and overall ride/feel.
i can't understand not wanting them because you don't want to weld on the car, especially with all the mods you have. it's not like we're talking about classic Ferraris or something here - these cars are meant to be modded, and then driven like raped apes.
if you're concerned about the looks of the car, how good do structural cracks in the body really look? you can't see any of the welds unless you're looking under the car up close. they do hang down a bit, but you could sell them & buy a less obvious design. regardless, when you go to sell that KBDD set, i bet you'll make a few bucks extra if you mention they're out of business.

I have the Slp bolt ons too. I had the ones that Don Goetz made but SLPs had the center mount for a three point fit so I switched. The fit is good, clearance etc. is fine. Don has since improved his to a three point so when the convertible version is available I may go with them since they are quite a bit lighter than the SLPs.
I know this is a DEAD thread, but can a convertible guy chime in here. I have a set of bolt-in SFC's on my T-Top car, and my buddy wants to buy them from me for his Convertible TA. On SLP's website, it says their SFC's won't fit a convertible. But i don't see why they wouldnt. We already had to remove that goofy stock subframe connector on his convertible, and i'd like to see his car with some 3-points on there. Can we get the SLP double diamond SFC's to fit?
