Who makes the lightest SFCs?
Who makes the lightest SFCs? I have held off on them bc of weight but I guess they can actually help keep your car from twisting on hard launches. Anyone know which brand is light and strong?
Thanks

Re: Who makes the lightest SFCs? I have the Wolfe SFCs. 11 lbs... <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0">
Thunder sells them for around $120 I believe. They are not on the website as far as I could tell, but they do sell them.

Re: Who makes the lightest SFCs? I have the Granatelli's...they're a bit heavier than the Wolfe's, weighing in at a "hefty" 13.5 lbs. <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0">
They are very strong for their weight. They easily allow Nascar style tire changes. Got'em in a GP for $109.

Re: Who makes the lightest SFCs? I know what's NOT the lightest SFC! I just weighed my Hotchkis SFCs at 22 lbs! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> They're boxed and VERY strong looking but I may have to look into the Wolfes. That's 11 lbs for both of them, right? What are they made out of?

Would you believe this was the ONLY thread ever started at LS1Tech with the phrase "lightest SFCs?" I woulda thought the question had been asked time and time again.

Re: Who makes the lightest SFCs? I never weighed them before welding them on, but my Madman SFC's are really lightweight, and tuck up under the car very well. They aren't even visible from the side. You have to look for them or you wouldn't even notice them.
