    Stiffer chasis...

    Hi,

    I have EG civic and I have just got new suspension...
    So far I have f/r strut bars and ITR sway bars...

    But I have this feeling, when driving on twisty roads, that the chasis seems to be flexing... I'm not to sure how to describe it, but I can also hear this sound like metal flexing...

    What can I do to stop this flex and noise without going over board eg roll cage....

    a little flex isnt such a bad thing.

    and trev your right about all those bars, but by the time you've finished buying all of them, you could of had a welded, painted cage

    yeah, I know. But if you want something that is easy to remove, the bars are easier. Just simply bolt on.

    start with a front and rear upper strut brace. Then , if not stiff enough venture into lower trailing bars etc and b/c pillar bars etc.

    Or maybe jkust get a larger rear swaybar and make that suspension work harder instead of worryign of "body flex"

    Does anyone have any pictures of a floor bar or a fender brace?
    I can't quite picture where they go in my head.

    Or go hardcore, strip the car to bare metal chassis and spot weld for extra rigidity...

    Check out here for the fender brace:

    Check out here for the floor bar:

    The fender braces go under the front fenders. And the floor bar goes along the floor behind the front seats (where the back seat passengers feet go)
