the guy was a collector and had a convertible 6 spd same 35th as well. he had them signed by some indy drivers in actually a few pretty cool places. anyways im trying to keep this sucker as close to stock as possible and put my own little special touch to it to make it different then all the others. although everything has already been done haha.

I like the Drift Innovations HD170. That thing looks awesome I probably will buy that sometime. A rotating lens... awesome. I'd attach that thing to my skylon on my ski boat.

i agree. i feel like any of the things that im doing can always be converted back to stock. except the exhaust i wont keep. im trying to do just pretty basic stuff anyone might want to do but give it my own kick thats a little different.

Weld in are not much stronger than bolt on. I dont think he would want weld in because you can not take them off.

I go weld in, don't want to take chance of bolt ins flexing, moving, or creaking. Suspension companies recommend you weld in after a certain power level anyways so might as well do it once and do it right.

^i lift the front wheels off the ground and have bolt in. You just have to make sure they are very tight.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying they're not effective, cuz that's far from the truth. I just don't take chances of things that have gone wrong with other people that can potentially happen to myself. I'm a creature of habit also, weld in sfcs, relo brackets, etc etc.

I have yet to meet anyone who removed theirs unless it was a part out after a salvage situation.

If you go to sell it and they dont want them you have to cut them off. Plus the frame will never be the same. The bolt on works for my car that lifts the wheels. I also have full supension and they are 3 point so my car is stiff.

So how many times in the history of selling cars has someone requested that the SFC's be cut off? Guess what the weld in work for my bolt-on car that lifts the front tire. All personal preference as far as I'm concerned.

since the sfc's stiffen up the ride, does that change tire wear at all on the car?
