Alright, looking at three different different sets
Alston Racing gets fantastic reviews on TGO
UMI and BMR are tied for reviews. Some have said that welding in both the Alstons and the BMR's make the car super ridged, but why anyone would want to add that much weight to thier car unless they are pushing some serious power is beyond me.
Price wise, Alston's are the cheapest.
Hey Al, I am super anal about what goes into my car and by chance I wanted a set of SFC. One of the club members had a set of ALSTON's for sale and had heard they were pretty good from TGO. Had them installed (took about 4 hours to WELD them in properly) and was SUPER impressed with the way the car felt right away. It took away all of the bounce and shake over bumps and made the car feel like you were driving a much heavier car. They weight about 20 pounds but well worth the investment in what it can do to the ride quality of these rock N' roll beasts. I think all you need would be JUST the ALSTON's, as adding the UMI set would be great for a road race set-up, but overkill for a DD.
