i would like to know if box welding the trailing arms is very important for stiffness??? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/huh.gif) Do I need to weld it up for a reg road car? or should i just leave them? What is the difference?
would replacing the rubber bushings be a more cost evective performance mod?? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/huh.gif) |
