I went with UMI 3pt SFCs and a Wolfe 6pt bolt-in rollbar. The SFCs might be extra weight, but a 6pt doesn't compare to a 10pt in terms of stiffening up the chassis, so I went with both. The extra 30lbs won't kill me, and I'd like to do all I can to prevent twisting anything dumping the clutch on a 150shot on ET Streets
I like that the LCA mount area ("torque box" on a mustang) is also reinforced by the SFCs.I also have Koni SA shocks and just ordered a set of Strano springs.

They'll make your car ride harsher as the car's unibody can't flex and absorb impact with them welded on. After the install, the only thing absorbing impact is the suspension and your kidneys. It's certainly worth it, but will provide a slightly harsher ride.

I thaught ride quality was reduced.
There are very different opinions on this issue but little fact.
So here R 2 absolute facts about SFCs:
1. They make your car heavier.
2. They make your wallet/bank account smaller (lighter).
My .02--->spend your $ elsewhere.
Like quality shocks as earlier stated.
