Hi,
I'm at the stage in a very slooow build where I need to think about chassis stiffening.. I'll do the regular GT kit but I don't know whether to do either or both the Inner Long Kit and Roll Cage. The long term plan is to fit a Suby 3.0 N/A and use it for mainly street but also hill-climbs/sprints/autoX here in the UK... Any thoughts or advice? Thanks, Ollie. |

When you install your kit, drill the holes bigger. It make for a stronger weld.
