Bolt ins are just for looks or to have something to put a jack on other than the pinch weld. Again just my opinion. As I mentioned previously my WS.6 which had weld-in SFCs installed did not have any quarter panel ripples. But my Z28 which does not have SFCs does have ripples.

just a few questions. Can the bolt on ones be welded in? Or are the welded ones special in some ways? And are they welded on both ends? The lower control arm bolt area and the front flat section? And which SFC would be the best style in your opinion? They make many different types. Are the basic weld in ones as good as those fancy 3 point ones with the cross member and loop etc. Thanx.

I'd give UMI performance a call. They have pretty good stuff.

I don't know if there's any difference between the bolt ins or weld ins, I just had the weld ins.
