Thought I would start this thread over,
I am installing Brad Mayeur's Longitudinal clamshell kit. It should make the car MUCH stiffer. Specs: 3/32 thick, plug and seam welded to the existing longs, and ties into the suspension console Mark Attached image(s)

The trick to getting your order processed from RD is to place your order on line. Bill will call you back in a matter of days to finalize your order. I have been ordering from RD like crazy and have no complaints. The parts are kick ass and fit great right out of the box.
