    I love my SFC's. It really helps on a lowered car when trying to get it off the ground with a jack.

    Well I have the SLP diamond Subframe's, they are without a doubt a nice set of SFC's,however, I have them because they were given to me. When I put them on I had to take off my Elec-cutouts because they would not fit with the SFC's. They really do make a big differance but so do ALL SFC's.

    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.



    My tubular UMI's are unseen and they have the lca bracket boxed in.

    tubular...for several reasons. mainly the rigidity a tube is always in compression, and next for weight....the weight of round tubing is almost always les than its same size square counterpart.
