I have their SFCs and TA. SFCs are pretty much SFCs in as much as they stiffen up the frame of the car so, yes, mine seem to 'perform' very well. I noticed a definate increase in chassis rigidity with them installed. The TA is really beefy and mounts to that secondary crossmember that the SFCs come with so it really improves the bite the rear end can get. It also allows pinion angle adjustments. The SFCs do require pulling up the carpet and drilling some holes throught the floorboards and pinchwelds to mount them up if you are going to bolt them in. Mine lined right up when I installed them and went in smoothly. They can also be welded in like any other SFC (I plan to weld them in the future as a precautionary measure). The SFCs also come with a driveshaft loop that bolts onto the secondary crossmember part of the SFCs.

I had a GP going on all of that stuff S&W makes for 3rd gens a while back but nobody from here got in on it..... We got a very good deal on the SFC/TA package .....
