Default Installing SFC and relocation brackets

I just ordered weld in UMI SFC ands Rel. Brackets and CAlled the local performance shop. And they wanted like 125?? what is so hard about installing them? Could i jsut bolt them up and then take it to them so it would save on labor?

My friend can weld pretty good, so should i just have him to it for free, cus i can do the shock assembly and all that myself.

How hard is this setup to instal any pointers or anything?

thanks

im assuming you got the bolt on types for both? if you did they arent bad to install. i would say just do it yourself.
i have both as bolt ins and havent had any problems with screws coming loose or anything like that.

I don't know how difficult it is but I'm probably going to get a shop to do it. Here's a link:

Not to hi-jack the thread but:


I am thinking about installing bolt-in SFC's along with tubular LCA's in the near future, I am stock ride height and have TSP duals installed.

I am not familiar with how and where these mount, will I need to drill holes or do these use existing holes? Secondly, will I have any clearance issues with mt exhaust? And if I decide to install a driveshaft loop will that interfere?
