Probably going to be my next mod also. Did you get raped on install cuz $120 seems a little steep for some simple welding?

I'm glad to hear you like them so much!! Now maybe I'll get some for my coupe and IF I'm feeling generous enough get some for my g/f's car as well

Lol I just hope you had them weld it on right..

I had mine welded by some random muffler shop. When I had my gears recently installed by a proper performance shop, I asked them if they could check the connectors and welds to see if it was done properly and I found it they mounted it an inch too far back...kinda annoyed at that since I know removing them for a reweld is kinda hard

When I got mine, it seemed like the ride became a little more bumpy, no big deal though. When I had them installed we found that my frame isnt straight anymore, one side is about a 1/4inch off compared to the other, so I am glad i had them installed. I think everybody should do it, if for anything else to keep the car how it was made. I didn't have a lift I could use so I paid a guy to do it for me, he charged 60 bucks and I cant wait to use a lift to reweld them right. He gave me 2 inch long welds here and there, I told him I wanted entire length welds, he said it would be good enough.

By the way you made the right choice getting the MM XL ones, it's one of the best.

I know I'm out of the New Edge realm here but S/F's are an absolute must to enhance power delivery, especially in a car like mine that becomes a virtual pretzel under heavy launch. In my '91 hatch that didn't have them the burnout footprint on the left side wasn't as near dark as a result, you could actually feel the body torsion...
