Hi All -
About 3-4 years ago I bought a set of inner long overlays at one of our local swap meets (carquip I think). They look exactly like an inner long, but I guess they are a touch over sized to actually go over and be welded to the existing long. I totally forgot I had them until my folks called about an hour ago and aksed me if I still wanted them - they were taking up room in there storage unit. So, I am getting a bit of the "while you are in there" disease and was thinking of installing the Engman kit in my car. I dont want to throw good money after bad, so would these overlays achieve a similar end result? Here is something funny - one of them has some rust on the edge. I guess they really were a decent copy of the originals..... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Thoughts? Thanks! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

as stated above, those require greater labor and skill to install. an Engman inner long kit is MUCH faster and easier to do. both will provide additional chassis rigidity that you will feel as soon as you drive onto the street or hit a bump in the road. these are good for a car with compromised longitudinals where budget prohibits a "correct" repair. As Andy stated, "goes over the rusty metal to cover it up"
