Chassis Upgrades
My goal with this car was to have a solid chassis for improved handling. When talking to AMD about installation of the rear quarter panels, they recommended installing the US Car Tools Level 2 Chassis Stiffening kit. This includes Subframe Connectors, Front and Rear Torque Boxes, Front Inner Fender Brades and Lower Radiator Core Support Stiffener. I chose not to go with the Level 3 kit which includes Rear Spring relocation and Mini-Tub kits as I didn’t want that level of modification to the car and wider wheel wheels would require modification of the interior sail panels in the back of the car.The photos below detail the Subframe Connectors, Torque Boxes
