Getting the SFC's welded on

 

Cool! What kind of SFC's? Let us know if you feel a difference; a few guys on the Suspension board said they didn't. I'm looking at the Alston ones, carried by TDS (above center advertisement link).

 

I didn't even know TDS had a link up top the page

However, I must say, price is tad high, but you get great service. Still give them

 

I tend to like their SFC's above Spohn's because Spohn's require much more fabrication. Plus you have to pay extra to get the Spohn SFC's powdercoated. Granted, I understand why they did that; their SFC's require a lot of welding, and you don't usually paint something before you weld it. I'll have to grind off the powdercoat from the Alston arms before I weld them in- but, the powdercoat along the middle (visible!) section will stay intact, and that's what I like.

 

I'm extremely mad right now

10:00-Drop car off @ shop.
2:00-Go to shop, JUST then being put up to work on.
4:45-Go to shop, they're closing, and say it'll be done tomorrow.

Apparently the first guy that was doing it just left.
So they had another guy do it, and he just left.
So that screws me out of $100 that I would have earned tonight AND I can't make it to defensive driving that I was going to take tomorrow b/c it's out of town. SO I lose more money b/c I already requested all day off.

Tom, they're SPohn

 

I installed the Spohn tubular SFC's myself, everything fit great and installation was a breeze. Tom, I remember seeing that you own your own welder and speedglass- took me about 3-hours by myself. I'm certain with your tools and knowledge you should be able to tackle that install yourself.

As for stiffness- heII yes there is a noticible difference. I can back the right rear tire up ontop of the curb in a driveway with the left side OVER the street. Thats right I said over, the chassis is so stiff that the wheel will lift of the ground. I can stand there and rock the car back and forth on the LF and RR tires.

 

The SFC's are in.

Lil stiffer

Don't have to worry about stress cracks now

Biggest difference is going over potholes.
