has anyone tried them? Good bads? Clearance issues or anything? I'm getting ready to make an order, and so far those are what I'm leaning towards. ALso, while up, has anyone here built or installed brake ducts on a 94+ mustang?

I have them and find a good welder. the seat re-enforcements are a beee-otch to install.
otherwise, they're great. don't forget to install the torque box reinforcements (comes with em) doesn't do much, but hey.

How much did you have to shell out to have yours welded on? I still have to shop for a shop to have em installed also.

I think I talked the guy down to $80 'speedee mufflers' in Fremont. Jose is a great welder.

There are like 3 shops on Monument Blvd in Concord that do them for $60. I went to the one with the 351 Foxbody in the lobby, they charged $60 for my full lengths. The car feels curbed upward now, if you know what I mean.

$60 $80 not bad is this pretty much the entire installation or do you have to do any pre/post installation before it is welded? and what DO you mean by curbed upward? lol

make sure they lift the car by the frame, otherwise the doors probably won't close right when they're done!

From my understanding you DON'T lift the car from the frame when you weld in subs. The car needs to be supported by it's own weight.
