Default BMR Boxed SFC?

Does anyone have these SFC's? I was thinking of either going with the SLP weld on's or possibly these. I know the SLP's are DD style and weigh more and the BMR's would be lighter. I guess my main question is would the SLP's being larger make my car that much stiffer as compared to the BMR's? Any and all opinions are welcomed. Thanks.

The boxed BMR's are the stiffest you can get...but if you have a lowered car I wouldn't get them.. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Trying to fugure out why you would post such a global and inaccurate statement?

My BMR boxed SFCs hang down no lower than the stock Y-Pipe or Trans AM side skirts. They are stiff enough that I sue them as a jacking point and raise the side of the car up, NASCAR style.

I have the BMR boxed connectors. At first just the front was welded and the rear bolted TIGHTLY. There was clunking which means movement. Movement means not stiffening. Now the rears are welded as well as the fronts. Car is lowered 3/4" and absolutely no clearance issues. Wish I could say the same for the Grot y-pipe.

BMRs on a lowered car absolutely NOT an issue.....

If I had to do it againg I might get the Global Wests (assuming they are lighter). The BMRs seem heavy to me. I was information poor about weight when I made my purchase.
