it comes down to how much of a race car you intend this to be, sounds like its mostly a street car & i dont think youd see any real benefit welding them at the rear too. plus it will be a hassle to ever remove the subframe for you or the next owner. with drag radials & limited track time its probably not worth it, they are doing their job as is but again all depends on how much you plan to race the car.

Thanks - I prefer to have them bolt in but want to make sure they provide adequate protection from twisting.
