[QUOTE="SlowSVT, post: 16111490, member: 20202"] I would go directly to jacking rails on an SN95. Those spiny box section sub-frames won't stiffen the chassis (especially in a vert) like jacking rails which are substantially beefier. What most people feel in the way of stiffness is the drivers seat mounted to the sheet metal floor board is suddenly reinforced by the sub-frame directly blow it. The trellis framed Hans Racecraft (if you can get them) are my favorites followed by Global West and Stiffers. Another great thing about jacking rails is the car won't care where it gets lifted from. Before the Hans I could see the chassis flexing in my coup when you put a floor jack to it. Now the whole side of the car comes up at once. I can't stand wet noodle chassis especially one with 600 ft bs torque monster multiplied thru a transmission connected to it. Don't forget to weld "weight on the wheels" or your doors won't close. Postban found that out the hard way and had to cut them out and re-weld. [/QUOTE]
