HP Motorsports are high on the list. Just make sure you get the ones that bolt to the bottom seat bolts(seat brace). And yes,,,WELD them on.
BTW.. if your going to be under the car with a welder, make sure you look over your torque boxes for cracks.Weld them up if they are cracked.

i have maximum motorsports full length weld-ons, they stiffened my car up A TON and they're really really high quality. just make sure your car is on its wheels (as opposed to on a standard mechanic's lift)when you weld them on so you dont get any body flex.

full length weld in, the cheap ones usually are a thinner wall thickness of steel... spend 125 and go with MM full length
