the bolt in ones are $189 but the weld in ones are only $89 but you have to cut your floorpan for the weld in ones. anyone do this? is it a pain in the neck? or am i better off getting the southside weld ins for 160?

I installed the bolt in's and then had them welded in when I had the opportunity. They work great and I have no heartburn about them.

I bought SSM subframe connectors and did not need to cut the floorboard... Thought it was interesting tho that I looked at a Roadster Camaro from 1983 and it looked like they used the exact same sfc's that I did...

The only 3 gripes I had about my SSM sfc's is:
1) my SLP exhaust hit the sfc on the passenger side
2) they were unpainted when I got them so I had to powdercoat them
3) on the driver side SSM missed a cutout for a hole, and I had to elongate the hole to make it clear
