I wonder how hard it would be to add a bar that ran from the front shock tower to the rear shock tower to give added support between the two on an Inferno. Any suggestions?
 
Not hard, but whats wrong with the stock stiffners or the aftermarkets for them?
 
Something like my homemade one?

Lookin good Nightmare, and I like your new tyres too. I see that you have snapped up some of the new 'pre-worn' tyres, similar to 'preglued' tyres, except they are 'worn' instead of 'glued'. :LoL:

The stock ones wear out eventually (plastic ballends), and aftermarket CNC ones are the same thing minus the wear, plus good looks. The way I see it, tower to tower offers more stiffening than bulkheads-to-chassis, but best of all run both.

EP - not 100% sure, but I was thinking a thick aluminium/steel/titanium rod with threaded ends, that thread into metal ends, that are attached to the front/rear bulkheads/shocktowers. That way, you can adjust (lengthen) to really tighten up the car... or loosen (shorten) it up if you find it leading to other parts breaking. Win-Win situation :yes:
