I know there are certain restrictions with some of the race organizations.
Who and what are they? What are the penalties? Why shouldn't i tie the shock towers into the cage? Will it work going *under* the engine lid? Or do i need the angle from up high to be effective? What about the front? And how about a removable petty bar? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Andy |

The rear shock towers are only spot welded on 3 of the 4 sides, from what I've read in past posts here. The metal is fairly thin at the shock tower. Why don't you just go to the top of the frame rail where the rear suspension mounts, it is much thicker and seemingly more relevant location?

Why don't you just go to the top of the frame rail where the rear suspension mounts, it is much thicker and seemingly more relevant location? I think there's two separate issues that i'd like to take care of. first, general body flex, which should be noticeably less with all the points tied in. and secondly, camber changes due to the top shock towers flexing. for that, i'd think going to the top of the shock tower would be the best approach ...
