    If you want them done right you should have them welded up. If you are just looking for a bolt in kit, UMI makes a pretty sturdy set.

    Call Reiters and let them weld up that sheetmetal.

    I just had my torque boxes welded up and frame connectors installed earlier this week at Team Z. They did a real good job!

    I've welded up my torque boxes and also made a set of "battle boxes" myself, simple fabrication.

    if you have a welder than weld up all the seems. want to go one step further cut some 1/8 inch plates and build your self some battle boxes. i welded my seems as well as installed through floor subframe connectors. stiffened the car up considerably. the frame ties slide inside the frame rails and go just about all the way to the lower control arm bolts. that should help to keep them from tearing out as well. i am waiting untill i put my cage in to do a battle box style reinforcement because im going to run my cage right into the torque boxes. here are some pics.
