Question SFC question

Do you know anyone that sells round tubular bolt-on SFC's ?
If not what will be the best (lightest-smallest) for my 01 SS?
Thanks,
Ed

BMR's have both. I'm going with the SLP's for the Diamond shape and the ability to bolt them in and weld later if necessary.

Question Sfc

BMR only has weld-ins. I'm still looking for bolt-ons.
Anyone else know of any bolt-on tubulars.

Don Goetz Fabrications makes bolt in sub-frame connectors. I have his on my 1997 30th Anniversary SS convertible. He is also making me a "beefed up" set to put on my 2002 Phase II ZL1 Supercar.

He also makes strut tower braces and tunnel braces.

You can contact him at dgoetz3@cinci.rr.com or by telephone at (513) 309-4647.

Mention my name, maybe he'll cut you a break on the price.

Check with UMI performance. I thought BMR had weld in as well as bolt in SFC's.

UMI only has square tubing. No one makes round bolt on's except maybe for convertibles like 02_Phase2_ZL1 mentioned.

SFC need to be stiff and square tube is stiffer. Weld in are also better, because the bolt in can move around on you.

Hey, I found one!

Looks pretty weak to me, though.
