I love mine. They made a very noticeable difference in chassis rigidity, they are relatively lightweight, they will cause no loss in ground clearance, and they will not interfere with any aftermarket Y-pipes or longtubes. Just make sure you have a reputable place weld them in.

I'd try and get a recommendation in your local forum. Also if you know of a reputable mustang shop, they can generally do the work too since the setups are similar. Good luck.

GW SFC's here also. VERY nice pieces. High quality, excellent fit, and as Fulton1 said, they clear everything, and stiffen the chassis up big time. You won't be dissapointed.......... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Very cool <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" /> I was going to go with a set of KBDDs, but chose not to because I want the extra room for LT headers, I heard KBDDs interfere with some headers, so I didn't want to take a chance, plus they weigh a lot more, thats the last thing I need with all 205lbs of me in the car already

They are made from 2" tubing while most of the competitors tubular SFC's are made from 1 5/8 or so. They tuck up perfectly and can only be seen if you stick your head under the car.

Hmmm .. I was thinking of the KBDD, but since I have SLP LT headers, will I have any issues? And are the Global West SFCs significantly better than the BMRs, because of the thicker tubing? Thanks! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />
