I have them installed now.... when I get my new fuel pump in next week I'll let you know how they work, but from an install point of view it was all right on...

That would be great. Im in the process of picking some up and its better when you have more options to choose from. If you could post some pics with them installed that would also be a big helper.

Thanks,
Jay

the bushings came yesterday, I got it all back together and took it for a spin... WOW, what a diffrence.... its better than my 88 Iroc t top was...much less flex over bumps... I didnt put the exhaust back on so I cant tell you if it still creaks/groans..... Open headers drown out a lot

was there any mods needed on these to fit correctly. I was thinking about the ones from tds because of them being a great 3rd gen supporter. I really have no clue about suspension stuff though (I usually just build the motor and have some fun) so I guess either set would work alright but s&w looks like a firmer design.

I have these installed on my '92 TA Vert. They didn't fit snugly and not all the connecting points for the floor pan make contact. I didn't care as I didn't want to weld or bolt those on anyway (didn't want to have to pull the interior).

The center bar sucked because I would always bottom out on everything. I have it removed now because I have the sphoon torque arm that mounts to the tranny crossmember (T56), so it won't clear.

Hope this helps.

well looks like the spohn sfc for me then thanks for the info.
----------
I'll be using their tranny crossmember(200r4) and torque arm anyway. and hopefully a 9" (homebuilt, I don't weld all that good though) when I get time unless I can find one for sale that is already done.

Check out the 'contact' problems with spohn sfc's I had back around Februrary.

There is another post in the suspension forum if you want more feedback and pics.

I've been watching this thread thinking these were the answer to my sfc issue.

I've been doing the same thing but it looks like I will be getting mine from TDS for sure now. I wanted these ones because they mentioned better ground clearance.
