Weld-in SFCs....don't weld the rear?
When I got my BMR-style subframe connectors installed the guy did not weld the rear. He swore up and down that you were not supposed to. This was in a shop that specializes in F-Body performance. Was he just a lazy SOB with my SFCs?

These self-proclaimed F-body specialists suck. Most of the time they screw everything up. Thats why I did my own cam swap. Not because it was necessarily cheaper (but that did help), but everybody I know gets their car screwed up everytime it goes to the shop.

Are they the boxed version of BMR? I have these and the fronts are welded, the rear bolts through the LCA bolt hole, no noises, considerably tighter then before I had them. For the round SFC's both ends need to be welded.

My BMR Tubulars were welded (somewhat) in the back. But a small bead on the lca mounth where it bolts to??? Doesn't seem like it would make much difference at all. If the bolt came loose I'd imagine there would be some other problems...

$80-$90 is resonable if they do good job. You got to figure most shops charge $50 a hour or more. To install a set of SFC's you are talking a hour to a hour and a half.
$90 to just weld the front, well thats high, but I guess they didnt understand how to install them
