Well, I had my SFCs welded in yesterday. I have a problem with them rubing a rear exhaust hanger but no big deal. BTW my car is a 98 zetec.
My car is also not lowered and therefore I have massive amounts of ground clearance. It will be coming down a little with the upgrade of the rest of the suspension but nothing that will cause cross bracing to scrape.
I also will be re-doing my exhaust. This will allow even more clearance. I am purchasing some weld tabs from some racing fabrication places.
I am wondering if I can build the cross bracing from the same size rectangular tubing that the SFCs are made from. This would assure clearance. The only thing is making sure the center of the X is built well. I really don't want to add 80 lbs of steel under my car. I could always use a hole saw to take some weight out of the cross brace without significantly reducing strength.
