    Default Weld in SFC's Tubular or Boxed

    I see BMR has both. What's the diff? I would guess the tubular ones are lighter and the boxed are stronger?

    Car will be at most a H/C car with a bit of spray in the next couple years. I'm thinking the tubular ones should do fine and be the lightest but let me have it

    thanx

    very true and forgot to add that's the reason most chose them over boxed as well

    of all the ones i put in for people the tubular alway tuck up better. they are 99.9% of the time hidden unless you crawl under the car and look up into the rocker area. the boxed tend to hang down lower and are sometimes seen below the rockers.

    either one will work. don't spend the extra on the double diamonds. those were designed for 5.0 mustangs and carried over to the f-body. the f-bodyies are more ridged from the factory and don't need the extra bracing or added weight.

    i have tubular on mine and that is what i tell people to get if they ask me what they should get for me to put on.

    the only thing i miss is having the lca braket boxed in like the pics of the boxed ones but that was an easy fix with some scrap i had laying around.
