If you have the proper tires then yes, it should help your launch in theory. You are losing power when your car "twists" or binds up. It will be putting more power to the ground. But if you are on street tires, then more power to the ground will be harder to control tire spin, etc.

Yea ive looked but just wasn't sure at what i was looking at lol. I dont' think they are full length SFC's.

But to boduke...they will help your launch, but as ZW said it's your launch control that you'll need to work on now.

The stock SFC's on the verts are just bolt-ins I believe.
And I didn't notice that much of a difference after installing mine either. I'm not sure It was worth the money or the day of frustration I endured installing them. My brake line/fuel line bracket(the plastic one on the passenger side outer front subframe) caught on fire.

Can't wait to pick some of these up. So is MM the best to get I take it? I want to get into some open track and autox stuff so I figure these are a good place to start How much better are welded ones vs. bolt on? I wish there were some that were compatible with both methods. Welding up here costs almost 100 bucks an hour so maybe I could bolt them in and have em welded in the lower 48 next November when I leave. But then again I may can get a guy at work to do it if he is comfortable welding on my car Congrats on the upgrade and your car looks nice and clean

Get them welded on or don't bother. It shouldn't take more than an hour at a good shop. The stock sub-frame connectors that come on convertibles and mach1s are garbage.
