Share your impressions after Engman install, Inner long kit !! Options

[drive-ability]

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.

Nathan,

I've asked this same question on a couple of occasions (and on a couple of forums) before. I have a rust free car with perfect door gaps; doors close great whether the car is on jack stands or not. I very much want to install the kit, but it seems there's no method for predicting door gap changes until after you're done. People recommend to measure everything before hand, use door brackets/braces, etc, but when all is said-and-done if it changes you're pretty much stuck with the result.

Skline, can you (or anyone else that's done this install) give us some idea of your experiences in this regard? Being the engineering type (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) , I'd like to know how it's all dealt with before committing.

Thanks,

Andys
