[QUOTE="mADmAN, post: 1063443581, member: 4286"] for comparison.... my old ex-EF3 converted to EF9 had VERY stiff suspension and also had chassis strengthening done via [B]spot welding[/B]....spot welding was done on entire car including engine bay. only had front 2pt strut and rear 2pt strut... [I]DONT ASK ME WHERE, HOW MUCH BLA BLA BLA. EX OWNER OF THE CAR DID IT. I BOUGHT THE CAR WITH THE CHASSIS ALREADY STRENGTHENED...but years ago i heard itll cost RM700 to get it done...dunno about now. n JFA it seems can do it...so thats a start for those of u interested to do it[/I] my friends original EF9 with stock Integra DA6 suspension. so its softer....only had front 2pt strut. 1/ my car barely squeaked... his car squeaked quite abit. 2/ my car only rattled when hitting bumps and holes or due to the stiff suspension, thick yellow lines. his car is the same. 3/ when parked with 1 tire on a slope or something (aka 1 tire not on level ground). -My Friends EF9 when closing the door... the doorlock hook at the B-pillar thingy doesnt align properly coz the chassis flexes enough to make the door "drop" a little when the door is open...first checked door hinges, changed, flat surface straight... uneven surface same thing. -My Strengthened Chassis EF3 no problems...straight door close...no issues. so yeah.... when it comes to chassis strengthening... i say do it. especially if its spot welding....wont add as much weight as the bars...just a lil bit more leceh..thats all.
