Recommendations For SFC's Install

I just ordered a few goodies from Spohn. I went with the front and rear swaybar kit, the lower control arms, and the subframe connectors. I can do everything myself except the welding part. Does anyone have any recommendations for a good welder who is experienced with installing these on 3rd gens. I'm open to suggestions anywhere in the Bay Area or Central Valley...

I want these done right...

Thanks

Re: Recommendations For SFC's Install

Not my car, could care less whether he mods it or flys to the moon on it.

However my custom mod of no motor / trans or interior when I got my car sort of made the decision that I had to mod it. If I had a creme puff like that I probably would leave it closer to stock than my car but...

I'm not changing the visual appearance. How's that...

And these aren't mods, they're necessary upgrades...Yeah, that's it...


I found someone in Modesto who's gonna do them for me...

Re: Recommendations For SFC's Install

Take caution when you have them done no matter what.

Try to get a fan on the weld spots and I even suggest pulling up the carpet if you have the time. Make sure, at the minimum, you take your time. Don’t let the welder try to weld it all in 20-30 minutes, and make sure you have an extinguisher that actually works nearby.

I got them done yesterday. I took the time to remove the carpet so no worries. Now I just have to put it all back together...

Here's a link to the other post with pictures...

Re: Recommendations For SFC's Install

OMG that car is clean. Makes you want to scrutinze those welds real hard and stuff.

Are you considering attending the Sacramento GTG early April? If we can get Brett's car ready and a few others we could caravan.

I have a pretty non standard work schedule so it depends on the exact date and time of the event. I'd like to go...

When exactly is this taking?...

EDIT: Nevermind, Looks like I'm in! Should be fun...
