Question Which SFCs ?

BMR or Spohn ? Which is better, and why ? I have a 98 TA A4, not lowered and probably won't.. with stock 16" Rims and only mod is GMMG exhaust..

Thanks

are Spohns tubular too or not?.. Also, is this really a worthwhile handling mod ? I'm planning on getting the weld-in, not the bolt-on..

Yes, they are 1.75" x .120" wall tubular. You can see them here:

to be completely honest i noticed no difference in handling when i got them put on. They did however get rid of any dashboard rattle and annoying things like that. Its still a very good mod. Espcially if you plan on doing other suspension mods as well.

I was wondering if anyone has these wolf through the floor SFCs. Are they worth the price? How much would someone charge to weld them. Im pretty sure quite a bit of welding and quite a bit of cutting is involved.

I like my BMR but no SFC can compare to the wolf I looked into removing my BMR's but as there is a cage in my car I couldn't get the wolfs in now. So oh well I will however have my BMR renforced!
