Keep this basic, not for a drag car, handling only. Spohn TUBULAR SFC's? I wouldn't imagine tubular SFC's would be as structural.. They'd offer more ground clearance though.

Yea I knew I'd be good with ground clearance, but how's the structural rigidity of them for handlind purposes? Not for drag.

I've heard that the seamless tubular is stronger than the boxed. The perimeter types are stronger, as far as I know, than the center types as well.
