USE OF THIS PRODUCT IS ACCEPTANCE OF SELLER’S DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY!
By their very nature, competition components are constantly pushed to their limits. While our components are

INSTRUCTIONS
1. Your car must be at "ride height" before installing the SFCs. You can accomplish this by
using a drive on lift. If a drive on lift is not available, then do the following. Place your front
tires up on ramps. Then jack up the rear of the car and place jack stands under the rear
housing (not the frame). Your car is now at ride height (suspension loaded).
2. Unbolt the front of the rear lower control arm and let it hang down. (Install one SFC at a
time to avoid headaches!) The SFC for the driver's side is the SFC that has the smaller front
mounting plate. Hold the SFC up under the rocker panel and line up the rear of the SFC's
mounting hole with the LCA’s front mount hole. Place the LCA mounting bolt through the
SFC and the LCA mount to hold the SFC in place. (Do not put the front of the LCA back in
the mount, when you weld this area it will melt the LCA bushing!)
3. Now swing up the front of the SFC so it is flush against the floor of the car. Place a jack
under the front of the SFC and put enough pressure against the SFC so that it is pressed
firmly against the underside of the car.
93-97 LT1 Cars: On LT1 cars only you will need to pull the black plastic fuel line holding
clip out of the subframe and then remove the clip from the fuel lines. Let the fuel lines hang
down and out of the way of the SFC mounting plate. When performing welding be sure to
shield the plastic fuel lines from any welding sparks. After SFC installation hold the fuel lines
back in to their original mounting place and secure them to the SFC with a wire tie run
through the small hole in the front left corner of the SFC’s front mounting plate.
