that'd be great. i'm most concerned about seeing the front mount brace to the rocker panel (top and bottom pic). i cant quite visualize how that ties in. the rest of it i see no problems with the kit, pretty straight forward design.

here is mine I have done a few sets and would and will change mine if and when the time comes that I see issues start but for now it is what it is. I just split the subframe and ran them into the front seat support and welded it all up then took a piece of the sub frame box cut it in half wrapped it around the sub and the factory sub and welded them together. I stoped at the factory torque box and plated the front of the box and welded them together. the other car I did I notched the torque box and ran them through it I may do this to mine if I see some movement and when I cut the floor you could get into weld the sub to the rear frame rails also. Some of things I would change is to add a tube to the rockers and make them longer like to the fire wall and like I said run the through the torque boxes. But I am sure they will be fine in a low 9s or high 8s car I have seen less run faster and if I ever run faster then 8.50 it will all have to be cut out anyway. I did this years before the wolf kits came out. Mine are made of 2X3 box that is the same thickness of roll bar tubing and I also welded the whole length of the floor to them. This was the first set I done
