Bolt-In SFC's?

Can any subframe connectors be bolted in? If so, can they be welded later? I'd like to focus on high speed handling so I think the Spohn's would be my best bet. Once again, I don't have the money to have them welded in right now. Any input? I hear such great things about them and they're only ~$190. Thanks

Ok, so I was reading over on TGO. A lot of people seem to have success with buying the Jegster Bolt In Frame Ties then later welding them in. How does that sound? Also, what kind of improvements will I see with a STB and Wonderbar? The wonderbar is only $50, will it make a big difference? Suspension experts I need your help!

i was looking at the aliston (sp?) sfc's on the tds web page and i think out of my options (kenny brown, spohn or tds) im going with them. theyre bolt in and can definitly be welded in later.

As far as the wonderbar i think its a good idea....ment to do same sort of idea as sfc's except instead of tying the whole car together they tie the nose together....its kind of like a stb for the bottom of the car.....they put em in iroc's to keep the steering box from being ripped out of the car under extreme handling. I wouldnt know the difference tho because i have an iroc so i already have 1.

I got mine from here and they were the bolt on ones that they welded in. I believe they made it to bolt in and weld in.

The Alston SFCs can be bolted in and welded later very easily, I'm not sure about the Spohn's though. I wouldn't recommend running them bolted-only for long because the subframe metal isn't very thick and the holes will oval out over time.

I noticed a BIG difference in how tight the front end felt went I went from no wonderbar to the one made by Top-Down Solutions.

I don't have a STB so I can't comment on that one yet.

So any input on the Jegster ones? Would they be good for cornering/high speed handling? Thanks
