Default Strut tower brace

Ordered my Founders Performance strut tower brace on monday. It got here today. I have to say its a very nice looking part, welds look awesome. I cant wait to bolt it on this weekend. I recommend anyone looking to do suspension mods to take a look at Founders. Best bang for the buck in my opinion.

I bought the brace also and it was because it was a fair price instead of a rip.
$12 in materials, bent, welded to 2 pieces of flat stock and they still make a decent profit. The rest, price gouging.
Now I hoping they make bolt on SFC's so I can get them at a fair price.
$149 for weld on, then adding $40 or so to drill a couple of holes add in some 50 cent bolts is just not right!

Cool, looks like bolton's might be in the works.
When I got the tower brace they didn't list even those weld on's yet and that was November.
But I want bolt ones versus weld on for collection purposes. This way I can remove them and not have to fix a weld mess.
