Default Not much of a difference with SFCs?

I just had my BMR tubular SFCs welded in and they don't feel like they did much. I even had them mounted better by the LCAs by drilling a new LCA bolt hole an mounting them higher with more contact so they don't hang down either. Maybe its just me but, hopefully they're doing their job under there.

I can't speak for the single tube type SFC but my bolt-on double diamond SFC's work great.

Yup... I know its not what you want to hear, but my SLP 3-point connectors stopped all my squeaks and creeks, not to mention made the car solid as a brick.

If you really want my opinion, I dont think youll ever feel a difference with the BMRs. I think that they will help keep your car from flexing/twisting due to a hard launch (if you were making lots of power), which would help with power transfer to the road, but thats about it.

Yeah I have KBDD's & after they were installed my car felt so much more solid, it was amazing.
