I just did this today. I've noticed increased rigidity of the car as well as a better track over bumpy spots in roads. Here are some pictures:

Yeah, a drunk chimpanzee could of done it. They are powdercoated and come with all required hardware. If I could of just gotten through the process without smashing my frickin pinkie finger.Originally posted by fastTALooks good Tracy..... nice clean install!
I like the fact that the finish on them exactly matches my SLP STB.
As far as price... They are currently on clearance sale at SLP's website. I got a great deal.Tracy

It's really hard to describe the difference SFCs make on a car. About all I can say is it makes it feel more solid like a truck. Probably more accurate is like a Corvette but I've never driven one. I'm afraid to. I'm afraid I will like it to much. Anyway, it's like you can now feel the suspension working as designed. I have put them on 2 cars and were amazed both times a the difference it makes. It's really a must have mod.2002 Electron Blue Vette, 1SC, FE3/Z51, G92 3.15 gears, 308.9 RWHP 321.7 RWTQ (before any mods), SLP headers, Z06 exhaust, MSD Ignition Wires, AC Delco Iridium Spark Plugs, 160 t-stat, lots of ECM tuning

Are there any alignment considerations that should be made before installing a set of these?
I was planning on welding in a set of SFC eventually and was wondering if it could hurt the alignment of the car in any way. I am going to have to just jack up the front end and leave the rear wheels on wheel chocks; having all of the front end weight on two little jack-stands isn't going to stretch the fram in any way, is it?1997 Pontiac Firebird T/A WS6

I jacked mine up one side at a time. Everything lined up fine. My biggest concern was that having the rear suspension loaded unevenly would make it hard to remove and replace the bolt holding the control arm to the SFC. No worries, that bolt slid in and out pretty easily.Originally posted by rhummer37
I suppose you could jack it up by the front but getting to that rear control arm bolt would not be easy.
I dont see how installing SFCs could hurt the allignment.Tracy
