Monster Strut Brace with Torque Limiter
Here is Mr. RPM at work Tig welding the front strut brace. He is a NASCAR certified welder and does a great job.

Subframe Brace
Another new piece is this subframe brace. This piece is wider than some other units. In addition to have multiple attaching points to limit subframe twist, the positioning and extra width act to protect the oil pan from impact. Knowing all the cracked oil pans out there, this piece does double duty. Below are the pictures of the finished product after powder coating.

Front Suspension
We rebuilt the front suspension using adjustable Koni sport strut inserts and H&R springs to lower the car about 30mm. Also, you can see that we replace all the stock suspension bushing with poly bushings from PowerFlex.

Rear X-Brace
Not to leave the rear hatch area unaddressed, we developed what we call the "X-Brace" to tie the rear shock towers together and limit body flex in the hatch opening.

Rear Springs & Shocks
The rear suspensionn was rebuilt using adjustable Koni shocks and H&R springs. Combined with the other upgrades, the suspension should handle what ever we want to throw at it.

Rear Axle Reinforced
In order to handle the additional power and stress that we are planning to throw at this car, we throughly reworked the rear axle. To limit twisting forces, we closed the stock C-channel which you can see in the first photo. We also added the diagonal bars for further strength. Lastly, to limit any flex where the hubs attach to the axle, we added additional reinforcing plates to both sides. These can be seen in closer detail below.

Suspension Arms
As part of the total rebuild, all parts are either being replaced or refreshed. Attached below are the suspention arms before and after the blast cabnet.

MP Performace Sway Bar
MP Sway Bar Installed - With the installation of the performance sway bar from MP Performance, the rear axle should be sufficiently stiff, what do you think? :-)
