need your advice on SFC

i did a search and couldnt find what im looking for .. the next upgrade for me is SFC , what im looking for is to get a set that i would bolt in .. but will likely weld wheni can get a chance .. the main thing im looking for is a set that doesnt require any cutting of the floor .. and clears the stock exhaust..

if you have any pics i would appreciate it ..

thanks

All kinds of stuff in archives. Try a search, they sometimes work.
Mine were custom made, and welded in. Maybe a bit heavy.
They are NICE.

Hello
I am not sure of any manufactures that offer a bolt on for a third gent. But I just wanted to leave you know that UMI Performance offers a weld on version of a SFC. They mount tight against the floor and come with replacement hardware for the rear control arm. Below is a link to show you what all we have to offer!

If you have any other questions feel free to ask!
Thanks
Brad

Re: need your advice on SFC

Hello, i wanted to give you another option. We do offer frame connectors for your car but they are weld in units. We have two different versions, SFC008 is designed for cars with full length headers and exhaust systems that run inside the frame rails. SFC009 is designed for cars equipped with the OE manifolds or shorty headers with OE exhaust or OE type exhaust that runs on the passenger side, outboard the subframe. We reinforce the rear control arm mounts with HD 3/16" plate and use rectangular tubing to join three areas, the rocker pinch welds, rear control arm boxes and front subframes. Here is a link to our site. Please give me a call if you have any questions or would like to order a set.

Re: need your advice on SFC

S&W racecars and Alston (can get through topdown solutions) offer bolt-in SFCs. Don't know how they did not pop up in your search. Search specifically for these, will find more info and pictures, also check out S&W's web site, and also check TDS's. There is drilling required for both sets, but no cutting. Don't believe there are any sets that use all existing holes.

The Alston SFC's I sell fit the bill too. They are designed to be bolted in, but can be welded in later or instead of bolting to the car.
