SFCs? Where to connect them?

My car may be getting major surgery and I figure I'll put some SFCs in there while I'm at it. If I just ask for SFCs will a basic mechanic know what I'm talking about or do I need to give them specific info? If I need specific info, then can someone explain what I need then? Thanks!

Normally you would buy the SFCs you like and take them to a mechanic, muffler shop, or welding shop for them to do the work. Basically there are many difference companies out there making Sub Frame Connectors and the designs and quality differs between each one. Not to mention there are usually different options for Weld in or Bolt on, Colors of powdercoating or bare metal, Dual Cat/Single Cat, Convert/Hardtop... etc.

Spohn offers SFCs and their really nice quality like with all his products. Or you could surf around the forum for other brands.

My Spohn SFCs came with directions. A simple welding shop handled my installation for me (around 160 bucks I think for LCAs, Brackets, and SFC installation). I did remove the seats, plastic trim, seat belts, and pulled the carpet/insulation back on the floor. The welds can make the floor red hot so you can save yourself some add'd labor costs if you feel comfortable doing that type of thing.
