Hello,

In most cases the 2-Point versions or regular version is just fine for about any car. The 3-Points SFC's are usually recommend when you are running a torque arm that ties into them or the car is heavily raced. Take a look at the link below for a few items we offer and if you have any questions I will be glad to help.

Thank you!

I had the 3pt SLP bolt ons. I didn't like them.
1. They were a b!+(# to install(I blame poor design tolerances).
2. They lossened up.
3. They touched the floor pan(noise).
4. They take away significant ground clearance (you can see them haning below my car in my sig pic!!)
5. They only attatch to 1 side of the LCA pocket.
(But the guy who baught them from me likes them, as do many other members)

I'm of the mindset that SFCs should be low on the mod priority list, but I don't want to start another SFC arguement thread.

So...If you have your mind set on SFCs, I would lean toward UMI's 3pts. They tuck up well. They attatch to both sides of the LCA pocket (great idea!). Are quality made, and reasonably priced.

I agree, the two point is plenty unless your goal is to add more weight then go with the 3 point.

I personally think the 3 point is a waist even on the most radical cars.

Regular 2-point SFC are plenty beefy for sure.
