I was hoping to get some opinions on the Engman inner long kit. We know its designed to stiffen up the center section but how does the car feel after the install. Can you feel a difference in the chassis? Sometimes I think its hard to measure a difference or judge performance because theres a built in bias when you buy and install something like this..

Question:
What's the best way to keep the door gaps even while inside the car welding up the kit? I'd hate to have someone weld in the kit while the body is flexing etc. FYI I have yet to purchase or install one of these but am very intrigued and will probably do so in the future. |
