I just put in two sets of SFCs in my '91 GTA. Global West SFCs go along the rocker panel like SSMs except they are tubular and connect to a stronger part of the subframe. The other SFCs are from Alston. The SFCs don't interfere with each other, since they connect to different parts of the cars frame.

IrocStan,

Just get some strong bungee cords ane connect them to your lca's and up to your front subframe. These helped my car launch a lot harder. Almost like a slingshot effect. J/K.

Anyway we need to talk about my gear 'cause its getting scary noisy.

IrocStan,
I will take some photos on Monday. The shop did a really good job, but didn't weld the GW connectors to the rocker panel that runs along the connectors. While they're doing that, I'll take the photos.
