Hi Everyone,

Could you guys do me a favor and post some pictures of the AA stiffening kit installed (8 PIECE CHASSIS STIFFENING KIT; 914 BCS1006).

I want to make sure I put them in correctly.

Thanks!!!

Seeing as how they are all copies of the factory kit, you might want to save $50 clams and get this one:

OK....So I bought the chassis stiffening kit from AA and I got these 8 pcs.

Attached Image

Personally, I feel it was a bit pricey at $150.00 for the these 8 pieces.
I know where all go except for one piece. The one with the ??? next to it.
Any help?? I just don't see it in the pics that have been provided. I called AA and asked for install pics but they just to send me to some sites for tips.

Secondly, the kit appears to be missing the following piece.

Attached Image

This one seems to be an important major piece. What do you all think??

Thanks,

ED

Yes, you're missing pieces. The one's with the question marks wrap the suspension console as shown in Joe's picture here:

Too bad we couldn't have gotten to you before you made that purchase. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

You're right Eric, wish I would have waited. I'm going to call George tomorrow and ask him why it's missing.
Eric, do you put together rear suspension packages??? Are you still redoing breaks??
Thanks

Well, I've been emailing back and forth with George at AA about my stiffening kit and he agreed that the kit is missing a main piece for both sides. He told me that it would be in the mail today!!!! Way to go George!!
