Default What kind of SFC's do you run?

I have some boxed BMRs, but I'm not crazy about the way that they hang down and they can be seen from the side. Is there anything comparable strength with no loss of ground clearance. Thanks, Shawn

I have Hotchkis weld-in SFC's and they fit really well. Only about 1/4" is exposed below the sheetmetal. If you get the black ones you'll barely see them. You can poke around the pics on my site, but I don't think you be able to see them.

There is no loss of ground clearance. I used to have the cross-braced SLP SFC's, so I know exactly what you're talking about. Those things hung way down, and I was scraping lots of stuff on my lowered car.

You'll have to knock your exhoust off to get to these SFC's. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

I've got the BMR tubular weld in SFC's. Can't see them from the side, tightened the car up nicely, and I don't have one squeak or rattle in the car. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

I love my BMR Boxed. Yes they hang down but not an eysore by anymeans. They also protect my 3" x-pipe/exhaust setup. Awesome heavy duty product BMR.
