Default Spectacle Solutions

I have a few ??'s about their products.

I must admit, the Spectical Solutions's price is very nice, but the SFC's look like they hang waaay low. How far down do the tubular BMR's hang down? They're both in about the same price range. I really don't want to see the SFC's from the sides, I don't race my SS, but would like to stiffen it up a good bit. Can you see them from the side of the car like you can with boxed versions?

On a side note, how short is their short stick compared to Lou's?

Thanks,
Shane

Spectacle SFC are boxed and you will see them , there powder painted black and will blend well with the underbody of the car. It's always a big debate if bolt-on or weld-on SFC are the way to go, you can't go wrong with these and if you like you can always weld them into place ( I'd just use the bolts).

I bought a short stick from them. Brian's a great guy to deal with. I'll be buying their STB soon.

As for the STB, does anyone have any good shots of it from the side? The one on their site is at an angle and doesn't really show a good perspective of it on the car. I'd really rather go with a boxed diamond style, but the visual's are very important as well.

Thanks guys/gals
