I'm looking into a mini tub opp, but cutting into a already weak rear sub frame seems to me a poor option. I leaning to the Art Morrison rear frame kit and tri 4 set up, but not 100%. I'm using the stk frt sub frame that has been fully welded and some support added and looking at GW or speed tech for the frt.
My main goal is to take as much flex out of the body so the suspension does more of the wrk with out spending my life savings. The fab end of this is not an issue for me, more trying to keep the price reasonable. Any suggestions of feed back would be helpful..

Cutting into the rear fram has now been done thousands and thousands of times and i have never seen any ill effects , remember that if you are then also moving the load point from the extreme rear of the frame (even tho it is actually only 1/2 the load) to the center of the car there is less stress on the rear. in the past we have done a "Mini" roll bar that triangulates the upper shock mount to the upper corner of the 1/4 and rear seat,package tray??
The best option is obviously a roll cage if your worried about flex.
