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..

I installed mine like Paul using a big c clamp to make sure they were tight against
the longs before welding. I also ground a drill flat to clean off the paint through every hole for a good weld. When I got done welding the holes on the longs I took a screwdriver and pride up to check if it was solid and some areas pop up. I made sure when I started welding a hole the wire was in the center of the hole but instead of it welding onto the long it just pretty much just filled the holes. So to make sure it was welded on solid I drilled some more holes with a spot weld cutter. The spot weld cutter left a 5/16ths hole instead of the 1/4 hole which welded more solid to the longs. I drilled the holes to 5/16ths in the back piece before I welded that and had no problems |
