Has anyone installed this kit or similar on their car and if so any feedback?

I've got them on mine, and love them. I also included the spider braces and K member brace. It did take a while to weld in all the pieces...but they sure made the car solid.
Can you give us a sense of relative improvement?
On a scale of say 1 terrible-100 Good
If stock flex was say a 10 and it was 50 after the flsc, what was it like after the web bracing?
Any downsides from the mod?
How did you get the spider brace and the K member brace to fit with the headers? I spoke with stiffler and they said it won't fit without tweaking the headers.
The Stiffler subs will certainly help but I think I would op'ed for the Hans or Glabal West subs before shelling out the dough for these but that's just me.
I did the entire Stiffler's system over a single weekend, so I can't comment on the difference made by any one piece of the system. Between the factory subframes, the pinch welds at the bottom of the rocker panels are the strongest available places to attach, so welding them to the sub frames via the jacking rails and web members has got to help. The Stiffler's system made a dramatic improvement going through corners in the car. I don't have headers, so that wasn't a concern for me. I did have to bend the front passenger side spider brace to clear the magnaflow cat. I don't see any down sides to the mod, and would do it again in a heartbeat. I've had the Kenny Brown Extreme Matrix system (similar minus the spider brace) on my 89 Mustang since 99, and I have had no complaints with it either. On the 89 Mustang, I had a K member brace with shorty headers, but had to lose it when I went to long tube headers.
I don't have this kit, but I have the kenny brown flsf, matrix bracing and jacking rails. Looks like a very similar setup. I can pull a tire off the ground with the top down and open and shut both doors with no issues. Definitely the best mod out there for a vert.
I have the MM ones.just curious if upgrading to Kenny brown or something else would be worth it?your thoughts?
I assume you are referring to the FLSFC. If so no need to change from MM to any other brand, as the MM connectors are a quality piece. As for the web bracing that's to he determined.
My thoughts are that the web bracing and jacking rails would help going through corners (significant increase in lateral stiffness), but not help that much for straight line acceleration (marginal increase in vertical stiffness).
It looks like you got the drive shaft loop as part of the kit.
And problems with it's fitment?
And if you already have the full length MM sub frames installed can you still install the full Stiffler kit?
It will work in conjunction with the MM parts without interference?

The driveshaft loop is not part of the kit.
I haven't installed it yet, but will report back with fitment.
You can order just the web bracing and the stiffening rails and use them with the MM FLSFC if you already have them installed (which is what I am doing).

Thanks for the feedback. I already have the MM flsc so I will go with the stifflers set up.[/QUOTE]
Do you have long tube headers?

I wonder if Stiffler's would be interested in an SVTP Group Buy?:-D
