Welded or Bolton SFC's?

What is better? I have some people telling me to get Weld-ins, while others tell me to get Bolt-ins with some badass bolts.

Also, for the weld-in kit.....

Will I have to remove the interior?
Any cutting/fabrication involved?
Any that you would reccommend?

weld, no question, depends where it welds as to removing trim and carpet, they should fall right into place

having spent allot of time under my car i'm suprised they offer bolt in anyhow- theres nothing to bolt to. these cars are so thin.weld in is the only way to go. you could bolt the other ones in and have them welded later, a friend of mine with a 2nd gen went that route

Get the weld in type, the bolt on SFC are a waste of money. I did not have to remove any interior items when my Spohn SFC's were welded in.

Weld it,without doubt the superior way.Shouldn't imagine it's that cheap though if you have to get someone else to do it.

Definitely weld them in.

The floor pan is too thin for bolt-in's to last long without ovaling the holes.
