BMR Suspension Question's. I have read and searched through the threads about SFS's. I have a little dimple on my drivers side above the rear wheel that I am assuming has come from the body flex, thats what I have read at least. But anyway I don't want anymore and I would like to get rid of a few squeeks and rattles that sometimes occur when going over larger bumps. So I would like to get SFS's, I was going to go with SLP's, but they seem a little overkill for what I am looking for, minor bolt-on car that doesn't see the track or much street racing. So I figured BMR's, but I was just wondering what people who have them opinion's are. It's between these two:
Boxed:
Tubular:
Is boxed really worth the $20.00 or should I not skimp out and just go for the extra strength? Any comments/opinion's are greatly appreciated.

I have the tubular BMR's and I love them. My car feels like it's carved out of a chunk of billet now, I did all the suspension mods at the same time but I'm certain the SFC's made a majority of the difference.

I was under the impression that with SFS's you won't get any more dimples? Well I don't drive the car hard and I just want to get rid of the creeks and cracks from going over some of the bumps so I will probably get them anyway.

Love mine! My BMR are the tubular ones, as my car is lowered. No ground clearence issues, and you cant see them hanging down from the side view. Car has t-tops, and never squeaked or rattled before putting them on, and it still dont...definitely can feel the difference when the SFC are installed. The car feels more rigid, but it does seem to want to understeer a little more. Also put on the strut tower brace later, and you can feel it too.
