Lowering and Welded SFC's which first?
I will be lowering my Iroc probably by newyears, but i am about to buy Alston SFC's from my buddy here in the next few days. The SFC's are bolt on so should I hold off on welding them in till I lower it? The more I think about it I might just wait to put them on all together till after I lower it. What yall think?

Bolt on using plenty of anti-seize and enjoy increased stiffness. Then when you're ready to weld, either in weeks or months, loosen the bolts and have the car sitting on its tires on a lift. Then weld. Best of both worlds...
