as long as you paint over the welds its not gonna rust man. ive had welded on hotchkis sfc for over 4 years. if you need a set let me know, i know a guy who builds em and welds em on for about 200 cdn, and he sets em properly so your car isnt slanted.

Twitch, your going to kick yourself in the A$$ down the road if you dont get them IMO. With the power your putting to the ground you are twisting that ride of yours big time.

Im going to have the car up on the hoist next week for a check up. Ill get some pics for you if your interested.

Our chassis flex big time. I cant give you a 100% "it made all the difference in the world" answer because I did do everything at the same time. I am quite sure however that they have played a huge part in my overall handling improvement. There is just no comparison between the two setups.

I just came in from a handling test session. I havent had a whole lot of opportunity to play lately, but I just pulled off 130kms through a 60km set of twisties (just for reference, I usually do 85-90 in the semi empty) and Im sure I could get another 10km out of her easy.

The car just feels planted to the ground. Its a feeling I didnt have before the upgrades. Powerslides are soOOO easy to control now too. Gotta love it.
