From what I've read, people have felt noticeable differences e.g. tighter chassis with the SFCs on. I'm not sure I understand your question. The SFC wouldn't change the speedometer readings.

If they are the ones warpspeed makes don't buy them. They stiffen up the chasis so there will be less creaks and groans. The car will ride a little rougher but possibly hold the road better. It would do nothing to the speedometer.

I have all 3-stages installed (think I am the only one in the 5th gen forum). To sum it up, the ride is very solid not stiff. Similar to the european sport sedan like BMW/Audi.

Stiffer chassis equals smoother ride because the suspension is able to do it's work instead of the chassis absorbing the bumps. The WSP SFCs were one of the best mods I ever did to my car.

I guess it's how one defines the word "stiff". I think "rigid" is a better adjective to describe the chasis. And yes, the ride is much smoother and more communicative w/the SFC's.

well, i was sorta incorrect, if you go to the link in this thread, it takes you to a web page that mentions the FSCs

Matt Blehm doesn't make SFCs. He explained that he has some non-compete deal with Dallas at Warpspeed on the product, so he won't be making them.
I'm interested in getting the SFCs hopefully sometime next spring... (been wanting them for over a year, LOL)
