Need help choosing SFC's
 

Hey fellas,

Trying to decide between 2 point boxed connectors vs. 2 point tubular ones.......both weld in style. Car is DD street driven only.

Are there any specific advantages to having one over the other?
What about weight differences?


Thanks!

oh and the Boxed set is from UMI, while the tubulars are Granatelli if that makes a difference

money talks bullshit walks.

lol ^^ I don't think that was much help for the OP. :chug:

you nutsack :devil:

anyone else?

get umi to stiffen up your car and get viagra to get the same stiffness for your dick my man. you know you need it. :D

did you make your decision yet ?

sure did, picking up the boxed UMI's tonight~
I'll post later with impressions after install if your interested

I have a new pair of boxed Hotchkis SFCs for sale in LA if you're interested PM me an offer.

ooohhh, you're gonna confuse him even more now. :lol:

For a street car I don't think it's going to matter at all which one you go with.
Personally I have always preferred SFC's like the SLP boxed 3 point SFC's. That coupled with a tunnel mount torque arm. The TA cross brace connects both sides and helps to stiffen it up.

got the UMI's installed over at CMS, very nice difference.....I would recommend these boxed SFC to anyone. FWIW, you can only see them if you kneel down, my Y pipe actually hangs lower. Also not sure on the actual weight, but they really didn't feel too heavy at all.........good stuff!

time to compare to mine bro!

I doubt you would have noticed a difference between the two of them. I have had those umi ones for years and they are fine.

good to hear they worked out for you :)

Glad to hear you guys like the UMI stuff... if anyone has any questions I will be glad to help.

Thanks!

Ryan,

A big thanks to your staff as well :chug: Called you guys in the morning in a panic trying to find the specs on the hardware I had lost; You guys helped me out and were very courteous and professional. Thanks again!

In case anyone runs into this problem in the future, the two bolts you need are M12x100 and need to be 100mm in length.......also grab two nylock nuts

-J

Now that you have them bolted and sucure, get them welded!

had them welded yesterday @ CMS :D

the bolts I was referring to were the ones that go in to the rear control arms

Oh ok, cool.
