So I bought the 10 piece chassis kit and the trailing arm box kit and the car is prepped for install. My car has never had any rust issues and looking at the bare metal everything looks great. I can't find any cracks or any other irregularities. The car is autocrossed at least monthly and I am attempting to stiffen it up. I will fab up a inner ear brace as well and rollbar is in the works too. Well I started browsing and I guess some of you guys don't like the 10 piece kit. Should I just leave it off and stitch weld all the body seams instead? What about the trailing arm box kit? Am I going to be adding weight that isn't going to benefit anything?
