Would definitely look into SFCs, worth it
Personally if you wanna save check out UMI, they're lighter too

UMI from KySpeed (Sponsor) = better, cheaper, lighter.
Most ppl on here will only use SLP for their Airlids and Linelocks, nothing else.
And to answer your other question, yes, they help prevent flexing of our bodies.

2002 Z28 A4 NBM- Sadly now demodded :(
SFC's are a "must have" regardless of body style (HT, T-top or vert). You want to be able to close the doors (or T-tops to not leak or vert to not shake going over RR tracks) then you need SFC's.
The only time I used SLP was on my 96 Vert and that was because nobody else had them (for convertibles). Otherwise go with a type that go all the way back and bolt in to the lower control arm in the rear. Weld in are better than bolt in. LT1 SFC's are different from LS1 SFC's.
If you do a cross member then you'd be better off to go with a complete body mount adjustable torque arm setup that incorporates a DS saftey loop. This solves 4 things in 1 shot: 1) Better cross member; 2) DS saftey loop; 3) Adjustable TA; 4) Takes the torque arm (and potential for cracking the tranny tailshaft) off of the back of the tranny.
