The SLP bolt-on SFC works great, you can get the same kind of SFC from here www.spectaclesolutions.com but at half the cost of the SLP's. From what I understand there just as good as the SLP's but there a little behind because of all the orders they've been getting, which ever one you choose I'm sure you'll be happy with them. Let me know if you need a link showing some tips on installing them.

I know the weld-ins are better, but why? As long as it keeps the two frames from bending, it doesn't matter right?

Anyone here have the bolt ins, and is happy?

I have SLP bolt-ons and I'm happy. Sure I have to tighten the bolts every now and then but I can also easily remove them when I'm eventually selling or trading in the car. SLPs are a bit on the heavy side if weight is major concern to you.

Weld doesn't flex... and no need to tighten... Plus for the price you pay for boltons you can generally get weldons and get them welded on for the same price.

If you use the red Lok-Tite on the threads you shouldn't need to retighten the bolts, the weld is only as good as the guy who did the work.

I put the SLP bolt-ons, then had them welded.
I prefer the welded ons for strength, but the bolt on ones are powder coated.

Also keep in mind SLP subframes sometimes don't fit with Longtube headers.I had to cut off the cross braces for clearence for my FLP's.I just use the main bar which is welded,just like BMR's.
