FLSFC's- welded, forget bolt on, and don't get powdercoated.
Shocks/Struts-depending on mileage

The reason why i suggested the spherical/spherical was because he is mostly a street car and from what i remember, street driving is what makes the bushings go quicker, not track use on a poly/spherical LCA. Thats why i suggested the spherical/spherical for longevity.

Whats the reasoning behind not getting the powdercoatd FLSFC? Is it just because they will need to have the PC ground off before they are welded?

New England = salty roads = rust is why I ask.

Yeah, you would have to get it off in order to weld it, just after welding it, hit it with POR or your choice of coating. No use paying the extra $$$ when you have to remove it anyway.

paint the FLSFC BEFORE you install them. If not you wont be able to get some of the places where salt and dirt will sit, on top of the sfc itself. I'm having mine installed this week, and I painted them up with a few coats of paint. Let the person installing them worry about the areas that need to be welded and repaint them again after its done.
