Weird... I didn't feel anything in mine. Then again I had LCAs and an adjustable PHB before them so maybe I just didn't realize. I got UMIs too though, great quality pieces.

i pulled mine off my car...they were only good for being jacking points but once i lowered my car, they served no purpose cause the jack wouldn't fit under anymore.

the chassis on our cars is very stiff and doesn't need SFC's unless you are doing some hardcore launching at the track all the time IMO. as long as the rest of the uber terrible suspension GM endowed us with is replaced/kept up with, i feel SFC's are just added weight.

Well then, it seems clear that we should buy our SFCs at the same time, bolt them into our cars, and then cruise our two F-bodies out to his place. If that works for him, of course.
