I haven't seen much about 5th gens with the sfcs.

Who has them and how much do they help handling?

 

anyone?

 

Y2KevSE has them. Send him a PM or email.

 

Howdy.

I had them installed a few weeks ago with Dallas's brother up in Monticello, MN at a shop they know. It took two hours of shop time since it was a first SFC install on a 5th gen up here.

The results aren't overly dramatic, given my original set-up of sway bar and strut tower brace and Pilot Sport A/S. However, I do notice that when I am beating my car through some really hard turns, i.e. I've got the body leaned wayyyy over and the tires are screaming, the tail does not fly out and I do not lose control of the nose. The slide is now very predictable. You won't really need these unless you're autocrossing or pressing your car to the limits a lot, but I feel a whole lot safer driving fast through turns because so far I haven't lost control of the car. This speaks well for the subframes since I haven't installed my Eibach's and AGX's yet either. They do add weight to your car, keep that in mind. And if you have a stock resonator on the exhaust piping of your car, there was a metal bracket that I had to cut off because it was vibrating like mad against the stage 2 cross piece connector.

Good luck on your installs, and others should write up their comments too.

 

Thanks!

I have the same setup as you - minus the rear sway bar but it's coming soon.

Sounds like it might be a good mod for me. I'm not overly anxious to go Eibachs and struts right now so I thought the sfb might be a good mid-step along with the sway bar.

How heavy are the sfbs?

 

No one replied to Max_Gator's question so I figured I'd bring this thread back.
Anyone know how much weight the SFCs add?

Thanks.

 

I remember seeing in another thread that they were like 20+lbs.. That's a lotta weight

 

37lbs

 

I dun remember that I saw one on his car.....

 

it's on there.

 

You have pictures of it. Look at side shots from underneath the car.

 

Is that stage one and two?

The 5th gen is supposed to be stiffer than the fourth gen to begin with so I guess it follows that you will see less improvement.
