Installed SLP SFC's about 6 months ago, no rattle.
Just replaced the tunnel brace and now there is sqweek/rattle coming from the t-top? Just a bad side effect to tightening up suspension.

Not sure what would cause that, did you go back and re-tighten the mounting hardware for the SFCs?

Possibly...since you're stiffening up and tightening one part of the car, another part will get more 'stress' (such as the t-tops), and now they are squeaking since that area or more flexible than the undercarriage now. But then again, i'm no engineer.

More than likely an inferior set of SFC's. I know it can't be that fine tunnel brace you just installed.

Loose seat belt and interior trim items rattle and squeak if not seated properly.

I can also hear the springs in the passenger seat vibrate

T-Tops prpbablt fit slightly different now that the car is tighter. You can adjust them! Try it, might just stop it. I have one minor creak, can't even call it a squeak but been too lazy to try and fix it.

LOL, you are right about the brace Don...cause it
is yours (grin). Great brace BTW. With that it did to the car, this is a small side effect.

DanA...On the adjusting tension/pressure to the t-tops, how is that done?

I am not 100% sure but I believe there is a screw towards the front og the top. I was told by a service writer at a Chevy dealer there is some adjustment.
