I beg to differ, but anytime a poster can back up his writings with in-depth technical information, including diagrams, I think we all can benefit.......IMHO you closed the sticky board too soon....

 

Thank you Arnold. Some people just don't get when someone posts info and backs it with factual diagrams and info in order to help others in desicion making. I thought that was the whole point of the question is to list factual info why one is better than others so people are armed with knowledge when making purchases- But Bens3rdgen must have some other brand than I listed agaisnt and took personal offence to what I posted- Oh well.

 

To back my info further, and to further discredit the bad info that Dailedin posted that I corrected about Alstons being the best in his opinion, Someone show me pictures of a car with Alstons doing this- holding one wheel off the ground like my car does with Spohn SFC's. I'd say thats hard to match, never the less even try and beat when it comes to chassis rigidity.

I post facts, not opinions. How I wish I had someone like myself to inform me of purchases I made in years past that were based off of mis info or ad hype- would have saved me alot of money and troubles over years of trial and error learning the hard and expensive way. I am the first to tell you if something I own is crap- Thats why this is a tech board so people can be informed.

 

Barris, I respect your opinion, but I do not agree that Spohn has the best design. I think KB's design is the best in the retail aftermarket. Please tell me why you would disagree; BTW, I'm a skeptic, not a cynic. Thanks.

 

KB's is very similar to spohns. Any of them that have the perimeter rail, and connect the tranny tunnel, combined with the front/rear subframes are ideal.

My car has Spohns old design, I also pull a wheel off the ground if I park it on driveway at an angle.

 

what about UMI's?

and what caused one wheel to be lifted off the ground, was your frame twisted or something in the first place?

 

UMI's are okay but I just plan don't think they are anything special. They have too many pieces welded together and look like they weigh a ton. What causes the wheel to lift off the ground is that the chassis becomes much more rigid with the SFCs. This is a good thing.

 

hey, BarrisCustoms, thanks for the insight....I'm always looking for good solid info in this and other message boards.....would like to talk more..send a pm.....
