SFC's fix this?

The road I've taken to the shop the past 2 days is horrible. Uneven pavement where they tried to fix it everywhere. Whenever I go over it, I can hear my door like move up/down, the car rattles and I'm going crazy with the wheel to keep her in the turn.

Will SFC's do the trick? I'd like to wait until the 383 goes in but it's bad. Also, I'm getting the Wonderbar off of my GTA to go on the RS so that should help a little bit.

It will definitely help- but don't expect miracles. 90% of the creaks an groans went in my IROC when I installed my SSM sfc's. May as well just do the job now

Cheers,
Felix

Subframe connectors are great to tighten up your chassis. You may also need to get a door hinge repair kit. Top down solutions sells them.

yes it will help alot with the car flexing and wandering around the uneven road...

it will not eliminate the wandering entirely... if i had to say a number, id say it would reduce 85% of it... and 90% of the squeeks and twisting...

it holds the body still, but to fix that last little bit of wander, a STB and wonderbar will fix that (assuming you dont need new steering components)

Ok guys, I just ordered some Jegster bolt-in frame ties. I've read good things and they're a good price. I'm going to weld them next year sometime when I can afford it. I'll let ya'll know how it goes.
