got mine yesterday. bolt on. when i find someone who can weld them in i'll get 'em welded. has anyone done the bolt-in install? do you have to remove the LCA or can you just remove the back bolt & e-brake hardware. thanks.

did it. it's the front bolt and you can do it just removing the from LCA bolt. one item to watch for... on my 2007, the holes use for the larger aluminum block you insert into the front subframe for the umi piece to bolt into is a bit small and must be elongated by hand, dremmel, etc. they really improve handling w/o hurting the ride quality.

i was surprised how solid the feel improved. the s197 is so much more rigid than the sn95 to start with and then adding these really tighten things up.
