My condenser mount is the same as yours. You don't move that part.

Yours is for sure welded on and not unbolt-able? And you have the koyo n flow? Just curious if theres anything else that would need done.

This is taken from under the car, but the weld at the upper right is the connection between the condenser and its bracket.

Not sure what corner that is, in the Banzai install linked above it shows the bracket on the AC that's welded on and it's attached to another bracket that's on the car.

Really, just get everything test fit in place and see what needs to be done. You may have an aftermarket condenser or something that is a bit different. Worst case scenario use 3 mounts instead of 4 or make a new bracket to attach that corner.

But i believe im okay because the other guy above seems to have the same kind of condensor as me, also running a koyo. Fingers crossed

In your pictures, it appears the bolt-on-bracket which is flipped is missing. The welded part shouldn't matter.

Also, koyo fitment issues are usually the result of bent swaybar mounts. They're pretty cheap and people usually replace them to fix the issue.
