Too much body flex
Anyone have any ideas on how to stiffen up the car so there is not so much body flex? Is there an under hood support I can add or anything else I can do to the car to get some of the body flex out of it?

I've got the UMI front strut support on mine, pair that with weld in sub frames and it will take out some of the twist.

I recommend weld-in SFCs first, they strengthen the most flexible part (mid-car) on the vert chassis. You will notice the car feeling much more rigid and handling better

Installed a strut tower brace yesterday, and it seems to have made an improvement. Sub frame connectors are on order and will do them next.

Anyone try the UMI bolt in SFC's yet? Been thinking of getting some. Going to check out the RK sport site to see if they are any cheaper.

I put on a STB and it was alot better, but the twist especially under
hard accel. was sooooooooooo much better after the SFC I got a set of
Kennny Browns and had them welded
wish i would have done it sooner

I'll find out next week how these affect ride and handling as I bought UMI bolt in sfc and got a used set of lca's. Looking forward to doing some wrenching!

Weld In SFC first. Bolt ins are better than nothing but from past experience those lock nuts just never stay tight enough and you have to check em from time to time to keep the creaking away.

Did my install this week and have to say I'm pretty impressed!No more creaking and groaning over bumps,takes curves better and feels more fun to drive.Haven't seen any down side yet.If bolts start coming loose then I'll see about getting them welded.

even after the stb, sfc, rollbar, i still get dimples in my rear quarter panel due to cornering forces @ the track w/ sticky rubber... had them fixed at least twice...
