Not to stray from the topic of the post but you got a leg up on me. Closest I ever got to them was pulling guard duty on the HARM munitions
! Didn't those replace the raven or something like that. I recall,seeing another model of counter e-warfares out there in Desert Storm but I believe they were operated by the AF.

Cm bolt in is very costly especially for the 25 lbs lightening over MS but i guess when u have a 25.5 cage its worth the extra coin and weight savings.
For the average car MS is perfect. Also u can get some shops to install CM weld ins for just a tad over a stack. That will be worth it IMO. Either way 750 for a bolt in is still costly

They really stick it to you for CM now days. It's hard to find anyone that has a local stock. You have to order them in quantity to save money, but you get hit on shipping for the lengths.

I can get the CM weld in for about 450 but then you need to have someone weld it in

If I didn't have a TIG setup and wasn't good with welding CM I def would've gone with MS and had it welded in for the cost savings. Doesn't matter too much to me. As long as it's safe and I can pass tech inspection at the track is all that's important as far as i'm concerned.
