Default SLP sfc install question

If I get the SLP sfc's, I would want to install them myself, but - the car has to be on the ground when the bolts are tightened right? Is it possible to reach all the bolts with the car on the ground?

I'm not absolutely sure but lifting the car slightly under the rear axle would be the same as the car sitting on hill. I believe you can tighten without lifting the car though.

I can't see how you can install them without getting the car in the air some, a pair of Rhino ramps would be a big help. Here's link that might be of some help, http://www.tbns.net/jscfirst/sfc/sfc.htm , the guy who put this together says he used a lot of my info but in truth he put it together and did a great job. dudemon if you're reading this you did a hell of a good job. Good luck with your install.

I assume he ment if it's possible without a lift as it's better if the car is on the wheels and not on stands when the bolts get tightened. The weight MUST be on the wheels/axle when LCA bolts are tightened.

A lift would be the way to go but it would need to be the drive on type, I have a www.backyardbuddy.com lift which makes life so much better when working on cars.
