Default sfc front mounting points slightly caved in
My sfc mounting point on the front are slightly caved in from being jacked up on and being set on jack stands. I have the UMI boxed sfc's. Anything i should worry about before i take it to get them installed???

You will need to get the car up in the air on a lift or really stable on jack stands. Then use a slide hammer with the angled attachments like this one below to pull the metal back into place.

A shop should have that stuff then. Makes sense. Why didn't I think of that.
