hey guys i was looking to purchase these this wednesday and i was wondering are these a good set.. they do clear my exhuast route thats why i choose these

http://www.hawksthirdgenparts.com/ca...-boltweld.aspx




what kind of performance increase am i looking at with these..... with my mods i need the support....... would i notice anything once these things are welded on...... any info would be helpful... thanks..

 

SFC's killed all my creeks and squeaks, the car seemed a little tighter too

 

thats good to hear because my car squeeks and its very annoying but my car is loud so u really cant hear it unless you have the windows up.... did you notice any handling upgrades or cornering abilites.....

 

you need to contact lon of top down solutions. his are cheaper and he puts most of the 3rd gens in so cal and a lot more around the country together.
he is strictly 3rd gen.
will post his link in a minute
http://www.top-downsolutions.com/ its here.
alston subframe connectors 184.00 here is that link. its at the bottom of the page. http://www.top-downsolutions.com/ind...44124196962c7f

good luck

 

alright cool thanks man..... i would like to see what they are.....

 

Its a subtle improvment, has a more positive feel when really hit the corner fast. I would classify this is as more of a supporting mod and after actually feeling the difference would recommend these to anyone who is modding their car as the first step.

When I jack up my car I can really see the difference because of how the whole side of the car comes up, not just the front tire.

 

while money is the prime concern if i have to spend it and there is no difference in cost i generally spend it on people who are doing what i am doing and support the 3rd gen site.
plus lon is one heck of a nice guy. he sells them then you drive 20 minutes down the road and dyno don welds them on.
easy trip.

 

hey tony do you think the alstons are good.... better than what i posted....

 

alstons have an excellent reputation. they are well made and they fit like they are supposed to.
with any sfc you need to load the frame so that it is they way it was new. all cars tend to bow in the middle so when you put it in you need to raise it so the wheels hang down and the middle downward bulge becomes straight. then you put them on.
a lot of work so i will pick mine up from lon and drive 20 minutes down the road and let dyno don put them in for me.
you need to use the search key here for alston's as well as the ones you mentioned. you should also google.
dont just listen to me or anyone else. research and make sure it is what you want and need. i looked for 6 months so that when i wanted to buy i knew what i wanted.
some like round sfc other's like the box.
i got no idea which one is stronger but since we are not generally running 500+ hp i dont think it makes a difference.
i always liked alston but i like others too. spohn is good - there are tons of good ones, so go with price.
but research so you know what fits your needs.

 

yeah i hear ya..... i just need a set of sfcs... i think for a daily driver i dont think anyone is going to be much different.... its not like im going to be racing it...... i liked the bmrs because i saw the pic of how they are installed and they fit my exhuast routing perfectly.. they dont hang down like the alstons do and my drive way is steep and i know with those it will scrape....i do work underneath the car and the bmrs set seem to be perfect for jacking up the car as well.... i dont need the best, i just need some sfcs and to queit down on my squeaks and rattles..... and since i have purchased bmr things like the tpi brace..... i was satisfied....

 

sounds like you did your research and found what is best for you. that is the way to do it.

 

yeah i have..... i feel any sfc would be a improvement regardless of brand or design...

 

I just watched the Group Purchase section and waited till someone started a UMI GP and I bought from them, with Labor Day in September, I am sure some company will have a sale.

 

Hello
Correct! There are a lot of good manufactures out there and no matter what type you get it will be a great suspension modification. I also want to suggest that UMI Performance offers a set of SFC's. Below is a link to show you what we have too offer!

If you have any other questions feel free to ask and I will be more than glad to help!
Thanks

sorry forgot to mention you guys too. you are a good sponsor here for us.

 

hey i was wondering if two set of sfc would be even more help like umi's outer design and say mac or alstons inner frame design.... would i benefit if i got those two types togther.... i think it would make for a really rigid and stiff car......

 

i have heard it down before but maybe you should see what one set does before you spend money on what you dont actually need.
i have heard of verts using them too.
good luck.

 

yeah your right..... if im satisfied with bmrs sfcs then i wont get the macs........
