Default which sfc to get?

i was just wondering which is the best to get.. nad how much better if any is weld in than bolt in... im not to worried about ground clearance but do not want them to hang way down and look taky... i just want to help 60 ' and prevent chasis flex... and where the best place to get them is because the only susp. mod is an air bag... thanks

Get some weld in ones because any weld is stronger than something that is held together by a bolt. BMR and Hotchkis are the best brands to go with which any of our sponsors will sell. ----------->

I go with KBDD's, NOTHING better I have tried BMR vs Hotchkiss vs KBDD at the track, BMR is nothing but tubes going back and forth, just CRAP

KBDD's dropped my times by 17 seconds at Thunder Hill!!!!!

Take a look at Spohn SFC's. They fit well, don't weigh a ton and tuck up nice and clean. They were one of the first mods I did. I am very happy with them. Plus the price is good.

Obviously you guys have no idea what Thunder Hill is and youre int he handling and braking section, geeze. Get your "I live my life a 1/4 mile at a time" metality out of your head people.

Its a friggin Road course Like Buttonwillow, Infineon Raceway. Not all Fbody owners like to go fast in a straight line... geeeze.

Why don't you go over to corner-carvers.com and post about your KBDD's. I'm sure those guys would love to set you straight about Kenny's fine work with chassis engineering.

I think the guy that posted the original thread was inquiring about SFC for a drag strip car. For those that (in your words)"live my life a 1/4 mile at a time" almost any sfc will do, pick one that is made from thicker walled steel.
For handling, LG Motorsports or SLP.
