.

Stops flex, front suspension is more stable, in a crash more strength, the stiffer the chassis, the better most cars work. If I missed anything I'm sure someone will catch it.

It is harder on the driver in a crash I would bet also. It won't allow the car to crumble up in the front. For an all out race car I would think it is a great idea for strength and regidity....

9 sec 93. I really want to do that to my car at some point and now would be a really good time for it. I remembered seeing it before and knew it was on here, but I couldn't find it. Could you give me as many detailed pictures and instructions as you could. I would appreciate it immensly.

How much weight did that drop for you?
