SFC's for a hardtop
 

I know this has been asked alot, but there doesn't seem to be a differentiation between hardtops and t-tops. I know hardtops are more rigged, are SFC's needed as much on a buildup?

my lt1 rebuild should have about 500 crank horsepower (383 LE3)

my current suspension is pretty stock:
bilstein shocks
1LE front swaybar
panhard rod
lca's are coming as soon as I can get them

Obviously my car is a hardtop.

Do I need a set of SFC's?

a pair of Weld-in's wouldnt hurt

it wont help AS MUCH as it would in a ttop car, but you will still get a lot of chassis flex, so the subframes will help

its cheap insurance. cars are gonna twist no matter if they are hardtop or not. if ya run them enough times it'll be a matter of time before you start seein huge gaps around your rear hatch and rear 1/4 panels start to wrinkle a bit.

My favorite part about SFCs is the great jack point it provides. Just stick the jack under there and you get your whole side of the car a foot off the ground in like 10 seconds

The worst part is that SFCs bump me into SM class in SCCA autoxing
