With my Kenny Brown's it was suggested to disconnect the negative battery cable. Also to have the car on a drive on lift so the chassis was loaded. They were installed in April of 2000 with no problems to date.

Thanks, Wayne. I "loaded" the suspension when I installed my PHR and LCA's so I figured I would also need to do the same thing for the SFC's.

Anyone else have any issues related to "weld-in" SFC's?

Thanks Guys.

Glad to help Trent. I meant to say they were installed in April 2001 not 2000. But, still no probs anyway. You'll also want to put some rust preventative on the welds. I used Extend from NAPA with no rust to date. Others have used POR-15.

Thanks, guys. I had no idea I needed to use some rust preventative; however, it does make good sense.

Any Static/Interference with Weld On Subframe Connector's?
 
I've got a friend who told me that I'll need to be careful when welding in sub connectors. I was told if it's not done right or not properly ground I could have some problems.

Is there any truth to this? I thought I could just call up Brett Rockey @ BMR and get'em ordered but I wanted to check here first.

Any positive or negative experiences?
