A handful of people have used Spohn SFCs along with Alston SFC's.

The Spohns are welded in close to under the rocker panels
The Alstons go further inward. Together they make for a superior chassis reinforcement.

(man, a lot of people asking about SFCs recently lol)

alsotns are the others but then you cant run a t56 , i dont know if that important but with alstons you gotta keep the 700r4 or the t5 unless you feel like fabrication an new crossmember.

Ya know Alex, I don't think they'll make the car stiff enough for you since you like to stiff people as it is. I think you'll really need to order a load of 'steal', weld it all together in the shape of a pointy tower, and then sit on the top of it. Then you'll know what its like to deal with yourself.

Not true. I have Alston SFC's and a T-56 in my car right now. It just requires a slight notch in the front mount of one SFC.

Re: ? on sfc

Now that I read you can have both Alstons and Spohns installed at the same time, I cant wait to get both installed. Good thing I searched for broken SFC's and found this thread. Thanks for letting me know this...
