2-point vs. 3 point SFC's

I will be getting some UMI SFC's. I am just debating on whether the 3-points are better or will there not be any noticable difference. I do not do any autocross and I am not worried about handling. I am only interested reducing squeaks, rattles, drivability and straight line traction. Any suggestions would be great.

The 3-pts. probably offer strengthening of the chassis, but the 2-pts. should take care of your goals just as well. When I had my 2-pts. installed, all the squeeks and rattles the car once had were completely gone and I definitely noticed a "firmer, stonger" overall feel to the car.

For what you want, Then the 2 point weld in SFC's should be fine. I Didnt real all that much of a difference but Some squeks did go way and the car felt more stable.

Did you get the weld-in or bolt on? If the weld-in, who did it - Speed Inc?

i will be getting the bolt ins and weld them in later. not that this really matters but it is common sense that sub frames welded in will be more sturdy. i can't find any good info comparing the 2 vs 3-points subframes.

I bought the weld-in SFCs from Spohn, and yes, Speed-Inc did the installation.

AFAIK, price is the only reason not to do 3-point.
