SFCs are installed! Black BMR Boxed weld-in SFCs
Let me put it this way: I don't know why these cars did not come with them from the factory
I had Konis SA on all corners, eibach pro-kit, 1LE rear sway bar, 1LE end mount links (front and rear), 1LE LCAs, 285s front and 315s rear BEFORE the SFCs -- while this combination makes the car handle really good, it was starting to make the car shake even when going over manhole lids on the road.
After the SFC install the car feels really solid and I have the feeling that now more than before the shocks are doing all the work. I would even say that the car is more comfortable to drive, because the few rattles I had and the overall shaking over small road holes/depressions are gone.
It's not a miracle mod, but SFCs should heve been there from the factory, it just ads a lot to the ride quality.
The BMRs were cake to install. The only issue was the driver's side, where the holes on the LCAs didn't align very well and I had to make those holes a little bigger.
No clearance issues, I can't even see the SFCs installed.
I regret not having this mod done before.

I was going to get some SFC, but it bumps me out of the class I want to race in in Autocross
I'm thinking about saying screw it and do it any ways
Did you weld them in yourself?

I had Randy's Custom Exhaust in Marysville install SFC in two of my cars now and both times it was $90. Fantastic work.

I like mine as well... I have some weld on BMR tubulars, but I bought those as my very first mod (along with an air lid and CAI), and now I wish I got the boxed ones just to have that extra jacking point.
My welds are rusting too because the shop I took it to did a crap-*** job... I might just buy some boxed ones and have Shaun cut my old ones out and weld new ones in.
