the Spohn or the SLP's are good too. I am bias towards Spohn, i think it's a great compnay...and all of my suspension is by them. The Spohn and the BMR's are the same thing.

EDIT: Get the tubular, not the square tube ( like mine ), since you're lowered. You won't lose any ground clearance that way.

This is exactly right IMO. Good luck!!

I've got the boxed BMR weld in's. No clearance issues at all. This pic is before my headers and Y pipe, but you get the idea. I've also got an Eibach Sportline kit and the factoy ground effects on my 02 Z28. The lowest point of my car is the cross brace that goes under where the Y pipe meets the catback (if you know what I mean, I'm not sure what it's called). My SFC are at least 1 inch above that plate. No problems at all. Go with the boxed, IMO.

If you're going to be doing big exhaust, stay away from the diamond types. Other than that though, SFC's are SFC's. There are technical differences, but unless you're a profesional road course driver, or perhaps a physical enineer, you'll never know the difference. Go with easy and cheap. That's my take on it anyway.

Def. go with the BMR weld-in's. After i picked my car up from the shop after they had installed them, my car felt really stiff. They are very reasonable price wise as well. You def. won't be dissapointed.

I was hoping to get weld on slp sfc to go with my qtp headers and catted y. Would I have to get non diamond shaped weld ons sfc to have it all fit together nicely?
