Bolt holes stretch huh? So you have your torque arm welded to your rear then right?...lol

I have bolt-in SLP's and they are awesome. They feel as good as the day I put them on. I say Triangular all the way more weight, but worth it IMO.

Bad analogy - The TA mount is a lot thicker steel than the thin sheet steel that the subframes are made out of. I've seen some nasty pictures of torn sheet metal on the subframes.

I have the Double Diamond SFC's. I bolted them in, then welded them in. Makes it easy, the bolts hold them on while you weld.

welding in the bolt ons has been popular lately, regardless, weld them in and forget about it.

Re: Bolt on or Weld in SFC's?

I just got a pair of the bolt on UMI SFC. They are awesome and make a huge difference. Installation was really easy and straight forward. Eventually, I will have them welded to, but the shop I called wanted 60-120 to install and weld them. Figure I can save the $$ for now and just bolt them up and find someone to weld for cheap later.
