After a bit of searching, it seems that most of ya'll take your car to the strip periodically and need SFCs. What about for a DD? I may, on a very VERY rare occasion autocross with it. In knowing this, would SFCs benefit me at all?

YES it will stiffen the car up and handle better on the street as well. It also clears up some of the squeaks and rattles you may have.

Well that would certainly be a plus. I'm just trying to get an idea what to ask the wifey for Christmas. It's looking like it will be 3.73s and MM SFCs.

Great upgrades. I have the 3.73s, an awesome gear for a 5spd street car IMO and from what I have heard MM is the best!

my car has never been to the track, and by far, i'd have to say my SFC's have been my best mod yet. especially for how cheap they are. I was reluctant to do them, because like a lot of people, i wanted go-fast mods first. they really do make a huge difference. it was almost like a new car when i went for the first drive after. i recommend SFC's as the first mod anyone should do.

edit: i can think of a few thing's i'd be asking wifey for before mustang mods , but if she isn't into that, then definitely get sfc's.

+1 . It's honestly a night and day comparison. Best part is that they are only like $160 for MM SFC's and maybe $50 max for an install. You honestly won't believe the difference until you do it. so just do it!

They are an absolute must for any fox. They not only make the car handle more precisely and predictably...but they make the car take bumps better too b/c they force the suspension to work more independently.

Yeah I definitely wanted to start at the right place. This car doesnt have a single speed mod, other than the Flowmaster catback that was on it when I bought it. I want to make a good base for future mods.

I can't wait to throw a set on my '86 GT 'vert. The frame on this friggin' thing is more floppy than an 80-year-old's weenie.

don't those things shrivel up so bad that they start to become 'innies' after about 70? can't see it flopping around too bad!
