Re: SFC questions

The tubular design will offer plenty of strength and will not sacrifice ground clearance as some of the boxed designs. Which UMI connectors are you looking at... the 2 point or the 3 point? If you are looking at the 2 point, there is not much of a difference between those or the BMR SFCs. The UMI 2 points are most likely a little cheaper then the BMRs though.

Re: SFC questions

If you ever plan on lowering the car go with tubular which will definitely work even if you don't lower it. But if your 100% sure you'll never lower the car get boxed; they are alittle stronger, but hang down about 1".

Re: SFC questions

I have the UMI boxed SFCs. They are of good quality and do not hurt ground clearance. You can see them under the car, but my exhaust hangs lower than the SFC's.

I went with boxed for the sole reason that if I wanted, I can now an entire side of the car with one jack.

You can do that with the tubulars as well.

Re: SFC questions

GO with UMI's they are cheaper and they are pretty much the exact same thing as the BMR's. I went with Tubular and unless you are over 500 or 600HP and TQ its not gonna matter.
