This question will probably get moved to the handling section, but... SLP makes a great set. You can probably find a used set (like I did) at a good price in the Fro Sale section.

I've got got tubular BMR's welded in, great mod and one of the first that should be done on these cars along with LCA's IMO.

BMR tubular SFCs if ground clearance is an issue, or BMR boxed SFCs if it's not.

No one likes SLP's anymore? That use to be the most popular ones around. They have both the weld or bolt-on. We used the bolt-ons and are real happy with them. In fact had them on a 99 Firehawk that was wrecked twice and the subframes really saved the car. That same set is now on my husbands 2001 WS6 for the last 3 years.

BMR tubulars are what's on my car. Good price, great quality product.

I don't like the SLP's because the weld in ones are not powdercoated(or painted) like the BMR's. Rust could become a problem with them.

The bolt in ones are $299, but are powdercoated. I'd still weld them in though, because the bolts will woller the holes and work their way loose.

w/ regards to tubulars, BMR vs Spohn... The bmrs are 1 5/8" .120 mild steel and spohn are 1 3/4 .120 mild steel. I would think the spohns would be a bit stiffer because of the wider diameter. Bmr's are about 2 lbs lighter for all you weight freaks, and BMR has a pretty solid rep. Any one have an opinion on Spohn vs BMR? Anyone care?
