Hey, i was wondering if there were any after-market parts to stiffen the chassis or is my best bet to go to a fab shop? thanks.

yes, there are several excellent chassis strenghtening / stiffening / reinforcement parts available; check the resourcs section. in particular, there are kits for the inner and outer longitudinals that really help a lot.
but your front or rear trunk would be used only to transport the parts. you can stiffen the trunks all you like but it will make no difference - the chassis does not flex there. the only significant flex is in the cabin area. |
