Bracing shock towers?

well I beg to differ,the inner fenderwells with all of their bends and the way they are made are inherently strong and light weight,if you remove them,and drive your car around....every time that it flexes it will get weaker....and weaker......and weaker.....till it falls on the ground.I never noticed the amount of flex till I installd a fourspeed in my dart vert,a buddy was backing it out of the shop and I saw it when he pushed in the clutch.WoW what an awakening that was,cage time

I totally agree. Look at an egg. Put it un your hand and squeez it as hard as you can...does it break? No

same thing as the inner fenders. they are there for the the vehicle to be structurly sound. The only reason a car would not start folding, if you took out the inner fenders, is if you put in frame conectors...but even then, I would suspect that the car wouldn't be 100% true around where the k member/firewall would be.
