Cris,

I'm curious about your firewall to subframe bars that you are adding to this car. It doesn't appear that there is a cage in this car, am I correct? If so, do the bars literally just tie into the firewall? Is there enough support in the metal of the firewall to make the bars worthwhile?

The firewall in these cars is just sheet metal with no real support behind it as I recall. So I'm wondering how much actual benefit these bars would be in preventing subframe flex...

I recall seeing somewhere that you make the round adapters that go in the firewall. If so, do you sell those as well? Depending on the answers to the above, I might consider a set for my car, but I won't have a cage to attach to behind the dash...

Thanx!
