You shouldn't have any problem making the CAM-T minimum weight with your setup.
It's primarily bolt on. I should have bolted the aftermarket k-member on before paint though. Luckily, as it turns out, we won't have to straighten it.

As for the subframe connectors, with a unibody, you need all of the weight on the car plus ballast in the driver's seat before welding up the subframe connectors.
