I watched an episode of horsepower where they measured body flex before and after the sfc's. They measured the gaps between body panels and the doors. Lifted the car is certain spots and did their before/after. To everyone's surprise, there was absolutely no change in chassis rigidity.

They claim that the floorpan under the seats are so weak that they will flex ne tweak under the most normal of driving circumstances. The sfc's strengthen the floorpan and as a result you feel as if the chassis is much stiffer. When in fact the chassis has not become more rigid, but the floorpan has been strengthened giving the driver less flex when cornering and accelerating.

Great butt dyno improvement.

+1, you find immaturity everywhere.

Congrats on the car. Griggs and Maximum Motorsports ftw with suspension. They are usually more than willing to go out of their way to help you and answer your questions. Good luck!
