They do indeed make these for our cars and I am pretty sure they have all the certifications. I also did some research on this topic because I was considering this for our cars and the bolts that are used are auctually just as strong as a weld if not stronger in certain cases. I forget what a grade 8.8 bolt is rated to, but it is a very high number. I decided that it isnt worth it for me to bolt in cause it is almost just as much work. You still need to fabricate and drill alot, as well as make lower and upper plates and all.
