They are bolt in's. I didnt want to pay to get them welded now. I'll do it later.

I'll take some pics of it on the lift when I'm done.

Looks good, I would definitely get them welded up when you get a chance.

One thing I noticed when I installed my sfc is it really stiffens up the body and really brings out the flaws in the stock de carbon shocks. My ride is a little more rough but I plan to get Koni and Strano springs anyways.

Kirby, they look great!

We supply you a bar nut, which is a piece of steel with (2) tapped holes. You slide this into the frame and use the supplied bolts to attach the SFC to the car. It is very simple and the install can be done in less then a half hour.

Thank you,
Ryan

Thanks everyone. They really ae easy to put in. The hardest part is lining up the sfc, frame, and control arm to get the bolt in.

I have the same thing except in red and they are awesome! I was quite suprised how well they tucked up. I was also concerned about the fronts being a problem to bolt in due to that bar sliding around but it really wasn't an issue and was very simple.
