GT chassis stiffening kit or engman kit... or GT + Engman kit? Options

[ghuff]

I am wondering which to do, or both.

I am also wondering if there is a point of diminishing returns, because of added weight and not much of an increase in rigidity....


But then my gut/instinct tells me this is a 1975 914 and it probably can use all the help it can get, and that the weight penality is easily worth the added rigidity.

Intended goals of the car, plenty of tire smoking torque out of a turbocharged Type IV and sticky tires + stiff suspension.

I am at the point of removing paint from the inner longs while I redo my pans and por-15 them. Since it is winter, doing some welding and having it down a little longer is no big deal.

I also am going to be installing the engman large plate front swaybar mount reinforcements since the sheetmetal there on the drivers side shows some fatigue/stress signs from some road debris smacking the underside of the chassis sometime in the past.....

Thoughts?
