they are pretty much easy to do and they only go in one way. on the fronts you may have to trim for the fender bolt clearance,

When my new ones were welded in the shop didn't run a bead to the floor pans. The car had the carpet in and they said welding the torque boxes to the floor would burn it. Just thought I'd mention this in case the car you're working on has the carpet in it.

Hey StRoKer,
Are the torque boxes re-pops, or aftermarket and where did you get them?  I've seen new torque boxes for sale but they claim they are not the same design as the originals.  Would love to see pics if you have any. 

I'm going to be adding them a little down the road and would like to know how they work out for you.

Thanks in advance!!!
Sean
