Default SFC question about lowering

I'm thinking about getting some SFC, right now I'm at stock height. But if I lower my car in the future, does that affect the placement of the sfc? Or do they go in the same place no matter what height your at?
Also, I'm thinking about getting BMR, should I get the tubular kind since I might lower in the future, or should I get the boxed for the strength?

I have Competition Engineering Bolt-On Frame Connectors. They do not hang down at all. My exhaust is a couple inches lower than the frame connectors. They are boxed style and Im really happy with them.

I have the tubulaf BMR weld in SFC's and you can not see them from the side of the car. They tuck right up nice. You should have no problem with lowering your car. The SFC's also go in the same way lowered or stock height.

So if I weld in some sfc right now, and I do lowering springs/shocks in the future, the sfc's will be fine as they are?

Yes, lowering will not effect the SFC's in anyway. I think the only SFC with ground clearance issues when lowered would be the SLP's.

Thanks, that's what I wanted to know before putting on some sfc.
