SFC's? Tubular or boxed? Which Brand and why? Subject says it all. I want my car to be flat and rattle-free. I'm stuck between the lightweight BMR Tubulars or the Boxed for added strength since that is the soul purpose of this mod.
If I do decide on boxed then I'm stuck between the BMR, the Hotchkis or the all-out KBDD's. I'm thinking the KB's are a little overkill but I have heard NOTHING but GREAT things about the Hotchkis and how they tuck up great and have a significant, noticable effect on the chassis and ride. Opinions please, I need to be swayed. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Re: SFC's? Tubular or boxed? Which Brand and why? I have the BMR tubulars and they're pretty good. A couple friends of mine have the KB Double Diamonds and they are much stiffer.
If I had to do it again - I would've gone with the DDs.

Re: SFC's? Tubular or boxed? Which Brand and why? I'm not familiar with BMR's tubular SFCs, but I'd go with those if they tuck in nicely since your car is lowered. The boxed BMR will stick out: could be problems going around speed bumps and what nots, not ideal for a lowered car, IMHO.
KBDDs actually don't drop down so much from what I've seen in person.
I myself have G2s that tuck in really well between the chassis and the door. I didn't lose any ground clearance either.
Whatever you choose, I suggest going to a shop that can do it on a drive-on ramp.
