I've seen the pics of tube steel welded between the front and rear shock towers and diagonally in the rear trunk.
Why and when should I do this? Thanks, KT |

Any flex in the car is force that is not being transmitted to the ground.
You need to stiffen the car to allow the suspension to react to the loads being placed on it by the track. |
