I want to install some subframe connectors on my Stang, but I have had it lowered with Eibachs and my mid-pipes are always scraping against speed bumps, driveways, etc. Will the SFC's have a scraping problem too? Has anyone out there had to deal with this?

I have eibach sportlines which is about .5 to .75 inches lower than your car and I never scrub. You can't pull into places going 20 mph and not expect it. I also have subframe connectors and they don't scrub. SCF's aren't low enough to the ground to be able to scrub.

Midpipe? Why are you all talking about your midpipe rubbing? He asked about SFCs, NOT midpipes!
Flipnsac, you really shouldn't have any problem with SFCs rubbing, but I'd stay away from the round ones and stick with the typical rect tubing type. If you're so low that these scrape, you'll have to worry about other things getting ripped out from underneath you as well...like the rear end, trannie, sway bars, tie rod, etc, etc, etc.
