    No not yet but my 6 point cage ties it in pretty well.

    I mean welding a piece of flat plate to both sides of the connector and the frame at both ends to "tie it all together " a little better.

    I know that SFCs are the way to go... I have even preached the point.

    However, I have never had the dough to get a set.
    When I do, what will I notice?
    How will it feel different?

    I just want them to keep from twisting or sagging my car... from time and wear, not brute hp. ;)

    What he said and.....
    Drive it over a few speed bumps before install and then after......

    You will feel it is stiffer and the body doesnlt feel like it is twisting....
