Hello everyone ive been asking around town and it seems like no one knows how to bolt SFC's (subframe connectors) on my 95 T/A. I believe im going to do this myself instead so if anyone knows exactly how and what to do to install these connectors please help me BTW- these are tubular BMR SFC's and they came with my car. THANKS

Easy, if they came with all the hardware. Did they? If so, jack up the rear of the car (not by the rear end!) so the rear hangs. Do one SFC at a time. Unbolt the front lower control arm bolt (the one on the chassis). Don't worry, the rear end shouldnt move much. Position the SFC up there, then slide your longer bolt through and hand tighten the nut. For the front, it will take some maneuvering, but mine came with a bar with 2 threaded holes in it. This is the backing plate for the bolts through the front. They should line up with the 2 holes in the subframe. Run the bolts through and hand tighten.
The suspension needs to be loaded (i.e. all tires on the ground) before you tighten all the bolts. I recommend an air wrench to do it, but you can still do it by hand. Drive it around and listen for any clunking.

I recommend welding them, but thats just me.

Well it looks like i dont have the hardware to bolt them up so i'm stuck with welding them. Is there anything that needs to be moved or modified in order for these SFC's to fit correctly?

There should be directions with the SFC's describing something similar to what Green96Z said.

BMR only offers a weld in SFC and they were never meant to be bolted in
