SFC 3 point connection worth extra $$$?
#3
I purchased tubular 2 pt SFC years ago for my T top camaro. I have no t-top leaks in the rain. My mom had a 94 camaro and the T tops started leaking after a couple of years. She did not have SFC. I've had them on my car since 2000 and it keeps the frame tight enough to prevent t top leaks.
But a 3 point support is without a doubt the strongest. Is it needed? I don't know. I've never ridden in a camaro with a 3 pt set up.
SFC's don't help your handling any but will keep the frame tight and parts from breaking/squeaking/leaking.

I wanted to get SFC for years but never got around to it. I read how great they are and what a big differance they make, I just know once I do get them I am gonna be mad at myself for not getting them sooner. My t-tops don't leak but I have tons of raddling/squeaking in the car, probably cause my z is a 93. I have finally decided to get them this spring.
Anyway, I am not sure which to get cause one guy told me because I have t-tops the body/frame is weaker and I should go for 3 point, but then other people said that 3 point are over kill unless you do autocross racing (which I don't) so don't spend extra money for something you don't really need.

I got the 3pt one because I like pushing the car through the turns. The car doesn't know if it's on the street being driven hard or on the track being driven hard, and also thought it's a good place for something else to tie everything in together.

They are both reputable companies, and I have parts from both. I have good help from UMI's customer service, so I can say that from experience. Haven't had to use SLP's service yet, it may be just as good- dunno
I will say that UMI has other related parts- the driveshaft loops, the torque arm kit that will tie into those SFC-s- I had to get the torque arm mount for modified exhaust to clear my SLP Y-pipe-

I got driveshaft loop and the torque arm, I don't know how they would tie ito those SFCs. Got any pics?
I think I am gonna go with UMI, and yeah they look lighter then SLP.

The piece that the torque arm relocation kit mounts to is the same piece that the 3-point SFC's are connected by. Pic from UMI websote:
