Has anybody tried these? I'm not in the position to purchase anything right now, but once money starts filling my bank account again, chassis stiffening will be top priority. The verts are a bit more flexible than the coupes (still not as flexy as everyone says though), so everything I can do will help.

The picture above is of a front engine bay reinforcement peice. If I remember right, they attach to the front of the door jam and to the strut tower to reinforce chassis flex right there.

everyone i've talked to has said they are really nice.

get em. i'm only hesitant because that area of the car is a big crumplezone and there is such a thing as a street car that is too stiff. I'm just not ready to give up that crumplezone quite yet.

Not in a position to buy much of anything right now, but once the 240 is back up and I have money again, that will be up there on my list. Nothing like stiffening up a 15 yr old chassis.
