I heard you did subframes and boxed the LCA's for one price... Got any pics of your SFC's?

Ok, I don't get where those would go? I figured that to have any structural rigidity at all it'd have to actually connect the subframes... like yours, the alstons?
Those look like they just weld up next to the LCA mounts and somewhere in the front?
And also, this is NOT a dig in any way, but how long ago were those done? Because from everything I've heard about Don he's a WAY better welder than what's on those SFC's

Don's sfc's do connect the subframes. They are welded to the front lca mount after bolting in to make sure the bolt holes line up.
The front weld is at the front subframe. I have both Alstons and Don's sfc's on my car. I was originally going to shorten the torque arm and use the Alstons to secure a new front torque arm mount. I've since decided that it isn't critical for me to shorten the torque arm to the correct length for my purposes. The big advantage to Don's sfc's is that they make a great jacking point anywhere under the rocker panel between the front and rear wheels. Don is an excellent welder, but don't expect a weld on the dirty bottom of a car to be as neat and clean as a weld on a brand new CLEAN piece of steel.
