Bolt holes stretch huh? So you have your torque arm welded to your rear then right?...lol

I have bolt-in SLP's and they are awesome. They feel as good as the day I put them on. I say Triangular all the way more weight, but worth it IMO.

Bad analogy - The TA mount is a lot thicker steel than the thin sheet steel that the subframes are made out of. I've seen some nasty pictures of torn sheet metal on the subframes.

I have the Double Diamond SFC's. I bolted them in, then welded them in. Makes it easy, the bolts hold them on while you weld.

Re: Bolt on or Weld in SFC's?

welding in the bolt ons has been popular lately, regardless, weld them in and forget about it.

Re: Bolt on or Weld in SFC's?

I just got a pair of the bolt on UMI SFC. They are awesome and make a huge difference. Installation was really easy and straight forward. Eventually, I will have them welded to, but the shop I called wanted 60-120 to install and weld them. Figure I can save the $$ for now and just bolt them up and find someone to weld for cheap later.
