weld them in, over time you will egg shape the bolt holes. its ok to bolt em in for placement, but i would definitely weld them in.

with mine in and before my roll cage you could almost pick up 1 corner of the car with a jack and the front would almost come off the same amount too, thats how much the chassis is stiffened.

I love my UMI 3-point SFC's. the car had a little less body flex when hard cornering, and felt more responsive. unforunately, i got those dimples behind the doors before they got installed a good shock/spring setup will really allow you ot handle better if you havent already. Looks greato n the car by the way.
