Default Founders SFC's pics

Anybody running these? I'd love to see some pics of them installed. Do you weld them in the back AND the front or do they not get welded in the back? Also, it says they get welded to the pinch weld. Would really like to see this and hear the opinions of people who have them.

I have had them on my car for about 8k miles and have zero complaints. There were welded in the front and back. They bolt into the rear control arm area but I had the shop weld all around the tab.

I dont have pictures but they are great pieces for the best price you can find!

So what are they talking about with this pinch weld thing? Car feel any different afterwards? I'm really just looking to fight off rattles and such before they start

Oh you think they want you to weld in the area between the bar and that pinch weld? Just fill it up?

if it's anything like SLP's weld-in http://www.slponline.com/instructions/70802.pdf you do it all along the seam between the tube and the pinch weld and anywhere the plates fit to the chassis (front and back mount points), be sure to grind off the powder coat so the weld will take.
