Default umi 3pt vs 2pt bolt in sfc

is there much of a difference in performance fro ma drag and cornering perspective between the two designs? at hte moment im pretty stock, just looking for a little less wheel hop and a little more lateral g's, any opinions?

I would go with a 2 point weld in over the bolt in. I saw on thier website that full frame subframe connector that will really tie in the chassis. I am sure UMI will chim in here. A torque arm and lca's will reduce the wheel hop further if you havent done it already.

If you are going to bother putting SFC's on the car, and you believe it needs to be stiffer, then why wouldn't you just do 3-points?

Anyway, what you are looking to get doesn't come from SFC's anyway. Don't get me wrong, I'd be happy to sell them to you if you really want them (and happy to give you prices).

Wheelhop can be addressed many ways. Shocks, LCA's, TA's, brackets, etc. Lateral G's come from springs, bars, tires, shocks, alignments.... Not from SFC's, or LCA's, etc.

ahh thanks for the lesson, what i was planning on buying was a strut toer brace, panhaard bar, and subframes, would this make a decent difference. ad i guess i didnt mean "lateral g's" just cornering and haing a stable feel at higher speeds
