I put SFC in my car within the first week I owned it. It didn't get a roll bar until the following year. The car now has a full cage and has never had a problem with the t-tops.

Never had a problem before putting in SFC or after. The SFC did take a lot of the creaks and moans out of the car when pulling into my steep angle driveway sideways.

definetly install SFCs i tweaked my cars frame with a 355 and a 5 speed but thankfully it was repairable. Install the subframe connectors the same day it came back from the frame shop.
