it is cool that you can jack up one whole side at time with sfc's, though.

If you can't feel the difference in a Fox after adding SFC's you must be pretty numb.  It's apparent as soon as you would drive the car off the lift.

I've noticed it just moving the car around in the yard. Absolutely no creaks or moans or clicks when going over uneven ground. Can't wait to get behind the wheel come spring and see how it handles with the SFC's and CHE rear arms...

i like to lift one rear corner of my car until the front tire on the same side comes off the floor, then open and close the doors like the car is standing flat on the ground :D

dont try this at home:

Notice my new fuel line in pic #3.....  I zip tied it to hold it in place with everything else...Hafta put a finish coat of paint on.  I painted the areas I zapped the zinc off of so it could be welded and did the welds too.

I'm in 100% agreement on this.  It actually gives a smoother ride on nice smooth pavement.  Potholes are telegraphed a bit more which I expected.  I wasn't expected the car to smooth out the way it did on good roads though.  An added bonus!
