the NEW spohn SFC's... yes I know... beat to death.

Keep this basic, not for a drag car, handling only. Spohn TUBULAR SFC's? I wouldn't imagine tubular SFC's would be as structural.. They'd offer more ground clearance though.

Yes, you'll be way more than fine. Ground clearance is good.

Yea I knew I'd be good with ground clearance, but how's the structural rigidity of them for handlind purposes? Not for drag.

I've heard that the seamless tubular is stronger than the boxed. The perimeter types are stronger, as far as I know, than the center types as well.

For all out handling I think they'd be perfectly fine.
