Which would you install first - STB or SFC?
Having Spohn SFC's put on next week but would like to put on STB this weekend.
Does it matter which is installed first? My thinking is that it may make sense to get the frame done first - then stiffen the strut towers. Start with the biggest item first...
Or does it not really even matter?
Thoughts anyone ?...

If your looking at what will provide the biggest improvment then I'm going to side with the SFC's. with STB coming in 2nd. If your nuts I suppose you put a STB on the rear too. ^_^

SFC's of course. STB would have a less noticable improvement. I dont think you can buy shock tower braces but I know someone who made his own ... so yeah it is possible.

Sarcasm is lost on the net. I usually use this "^_^" or "^_-" when I am adding sarcasm to a post.
But it IS possible to brace the rear. I don't think anyone makes a product for that purpose though.

SFCs...THEN exhaust. You don't want to have to tear your new exhaust apart of ding it up to put the SFCs in. I'd install the SFCs then run a dual exhaust like Willie did in the Exhaust Forum...that's one sweet looking system.
