Anyone use South Side Machine SFC's?

I was wondering if anyone has a set of South Sides on there car. They run them on a lot of Mustangs up here and I was wondering if they were any good for an F-body.

I have them, as well as a few other friends with third-gens, and they fit and work very well.

very good fit, and when they're on, you can't even tell they're there visually.

Good to know!!! I always heard good things from south sides. I think I am going with the new springs and struts, and then with a set of southsides to stiffen it up a bit.

A guy in my car club has the full SSM set up, which includes the sub frames, crossmember, lift bars, and drivshaft loop. With that setup, no other aftermarket chassis equipment. Besides a 4000 stall converter he is pulling 1.7 60ft times with 3.27 gears.

would you recommend them over Spohn's. i have been considering these since he really knows what he is doing! but i would like to hear some other feed back.
and if i do go with spohn's i will most likely go with everything he offers, but in intervals, working my way up.
thanks!
