I didn't want to just post this in the New Edge sub-section, so here it is.
I, like others, had additional chassis stiffening installed on my 99 Cobra. As described in multiple threads throughout SVTP, it helps tighten up the suspension, reduce chassis twisting, interior noise and helps put down the power to the road. Its a pretty easy decision and relatively simple installation.
However, here are some pictures that show an additional "not often thought of" result.
Back story: Modified 99 (Eaton/T56 swap) totaled in July by an elderly gentleman's failure to yield. He was driving a 2000 Silverado.
It is my firm belief that the additional bracing which included a full KB tubular K, A arms, subframes, matrix brace and jacking rails absorbed/blunted the impact of the truck which saved my feet and ankles from being crushed.
So, if you wanted another reason to add bracing...
