I have the Kenny Brown Double Diamonds and could also notice a difference. The car feels much more solid.

I've never heard of yours DGoetz SFCs? Where did you buy them?

How much of a difference was it? How did you notice it? Was it as noticeable at the STB? I am thinking about ordering a set of them but wanted to find out how well they worked. Let me know.

Hm ... if my friend would have some spare time, I'd get my KB DD SFCs put on and could give you a ride (though the BMR sway bars add to the suspension, too ...)

Big difference, car has a more "solid" feel. It was more notiecable than the STB! Cornering feels a lot more stable throughout the turns. It also seems to get the power to the ground a little better as well.

As far as quality, they were top notch. Mine were kind of a bitch to install though! I ended up having to grind off the rear edge of the passenger side one, the plate above the lower control arm bracket. I do not believe this is common though, everyone else I know of that installed them had know problems at all! I would say it is just my bad luck as usual.

No regrets though!

Jerry, if you order, watch out that you get the convertible version of the SFCs ... regular ones won't fit as the 'verts have an (as usual) sorry excuse of SFCs already added to make up for the missing roof ... I could post some pics of the Kenny Brown Double Diamonds I got from Roy ... just talked to my friend, he might be able to put them on sometime in September ...
Also, advise on the 'net is to always get the weld-on SFCs ... harder to install, but a lot better as they won't losen up over time ...

Jerry you want you SS to rattle over time? Then don't get the SF's. It'll keep your frame true over the long haul and those creeks and rattles won't show there ugly head.

Put KB's on mine in 97 and it elimated 99% of my rattles not to mention it stiffed the body like no other. Better the SB? YES but w/ the SB tied along w/ the SB you'll think your in a slot car. Solid feel all around.

Definitely do in now Jerry!! The longer you wait, the more the subframe will flex. I know you don't drive like I do, but it is something that you need to do! I had everything else done first, so I didn't notice it as much, but you will definitely be able to tell a difference!

Well I had my KBDDSFC installed yesterday. Now the car is even tighter and it seems to take normal road condition bumps much smoother. :lol:

However I did notice when I drive on curbs (such as a driveway, or speedbump) the entire car creeks and rattles which it did not before. :evil:

Maybe because its new? :?:

Anyway, I checked and they are installed correctly, and welded really good. I also had mine professionally pre-washed and painted black before and touched up after installation to help prevent rust. Now all I have left is to install is my 200mph Granetelli Speedometer, and my Fuel Rail Covers whenever they arrive.
