    Has anyone experienced any excessive twisting with your car when it’s on the track?
    I was going over my car recently and I’m noticing that on the upper right and left side of the trunk the paint if chipping and the corner of the turn signals have paint scuffs on them. What I think is happening when I’m in a heavy turn the car is twisting and literally bringing the two corners together. I have a front strut bar coming from Techco along with their Super Charger. I think that the Razors Edge rear strut support is something that I should install. I spoke with the guys at Modern Muscle who are going to do the install for me they suggested installing Razors Edge Chassis Matrix Sub Frame Brace along with the front and rear braces.

    Any experiences or input would be great.

    The welding part to the frame is the only thing that spooks me, any corrosion issues that that I should be aware of.

    I have the front strut tower brace and the rear 4-point one and it flattened the car out tremendously. I plan on doing the sub frames when I get back in town. I'll be curious to see the feel the entire setup. Good luck!

    I did the front strut and will be installing the rear 4 point from razors edge .. I love the front, not input on the rear yet obviously but I will post after this weekend ..

    as for the subframe connectors .. im not going there simply because they need to be welded..

    Steve (smosher) has the sub-frame connectors. He told me that they really help tighten up the car. He also mentioned that the peg legging and drifting of his rear went down to almost nothing after the sub-frame braces.

    I have had them on my car for 3 months now.No corrosion and they do paint the welds so that should help.FYI It really is a clean install when finished
