I got my connectors from Branda parts and they sent me the bolt on kind when I did say weld on style. Well I called and they said they are the same conncectors just one comes with holes so I can bolt it on, Is this true? If not is it a big deal if I do weld these ones on? Also I have read people saying have the weight on the tires when putting them on, But in these instrctuions it says let the suspention hang (no weight on the tires) So should I have it held up buy the frame or the tires?!?! 
Thanks

I'm sure you can weld them on.. the mounting flanges should be the same. When I installed mine, I had the car supported by the rear axle and the front lower control arm attach points. I feel it is important to simulate the suspension supporting the car when fitting and installing. After 35 years or so, I'm sure each vehicle is stressed a little differently.

It did stiffen the car up noticeably. TCP logitudinal subframes, not the X style. I notice the difference around town as well as on the freeway. At the same time I was welding, I installed shelby style traction bars, which improved traction tremendously, so I can't really say how the subframes assisted traction.
