I LOVE THEM, INCREDIBLE DIFFERENCE! Throw a panhard bar on, lowering springs, and tighter shocks, and the car will actually drive like a sports car! It's amazing how tight I can push through corners with the bar on, I'm not that far behind my Corvette in cornering on smooth roads.

I was quoted an hour-and-a-half labor and he said it was more of a pita than he first thought (he still charged me what he quoted me) but since they were powder coated and full length he said the grinding/welding/painting was much more tedious than he thought it would be.

i've been qupted 150 and up for install. however when i had my exhaust done i asked them if they could do it for me and they said yea. so while they had the welder out they welded mine on (kenny brown weld-ins). like someone else said just go to a muffler shop. they didn't charge me anything extra since the car was already on the lift.

Yes you have a bracket that attaches to the back of your front seat bolts which you weld to the subs. Definitley remove your carpet its acutually pretty cake to do.
