Wolfe through the floor is the only ones that tie your frame all together and give you a really sturdy place to mount your cage.

I have the SLP Bolt on SFC's on my car. It was not really a bolt on job to do. The driver's side Subframe had to be modified otherwise it would touch the fuel lines running in front of the car to the back. So we had a little work to do (cuting, welding and black spraying).

For me it works great now. This mod in addition of the STB was the best mod I've ever did to my car. Car feels stiffer now espacially in the corners.
If you want to see some pics of the SFC's installed just click on my sig

If nobody minds me asking, why is everyone going with the weld on sfc's? Are the bolt ons not nearly as good? What is the reasoning behind this. Any insight would be appreciated.

When I got the SFC for my last car,I couldnt decide between weld in or bolt in,I got the bolt in & am glad I did.I removed them,& reinstalled on the new car.
Thats one good thing about bolt in.
I have never driven a car with weld in,so I have nothing to compare to but the boltin work just fine for me.

East Side did mine, and I'm ahppy with them. I went with weld in SLP's, and they stiffened the crap out of my car. T tops' don't budge when going over bumps now, everything is much tighter. Handles alot different (better) too. SLP ones you can definately jack on too, I already have, and didn't leave a mark on them. They do hamper a dual dual exhause a little, but nothing that can't be worked with.

Alot of people don't like SLP stuff, but I have no problems with these, and Eastside said that they fit no problems, for what it's worth.
