Default Which SFC are these?

These came with the car when I bought it...I'm not sure what kind they are and I've been searching trying to find these but I've had not luck. Can anybody tell me what kind they are and what all it would take to put them in?

Yeah same here...other than that they went in fine...it's just not an easy job when you're by yourself on your back trying to hold 40lbs SFC in place to bolt them up.

it's easy...go to SLP's website...bring them up and click on the instructions. You can print them up and it tells you how to put them...that's assuming you didn't get any with them. If not I can try and give you a visual with out the pics...

Look at the pics I posted up at the top of the page...the last picture of the SFC on the ground...thats the SFC that goes on the passenger side. The left side of it...that bolts up to your lower control arm...then the diamond part bolts to your crossmember and the other end bolts to the frame itself. You don't have to drill holes and and you can use the same bolts that are already on the car. They should have came with 3 extra bolts and 2 pieces of steel that you have to slide up into the holes that are already in the frame of your car. Kinda hard to explain but easy to understand when you get under the car...hope this helped any.
