    good for those really soft unibody cars with front wheel drive.

    Oh yeah, and it's handy at reducing the foot room for the rear passengers too.

    yer that was my main concern!! just cant see what how our cars would benefit from this in that position. surly there is to much flex in that tiny little adjustment bolt?!

    im just getting desperate, the back end just doesn't feel as tight as the old 525 in the bends. maybe its just all the extra power!!

    Powerflex Subframe and anti roll bar bushes changed in January dogbones done at the same time.

    i could just be being over paranoid as the leather squeaks (525 was cloth) but im sure removing the big lump of steel behind the seat backs has had a knock on effect!

    waste of money and space. our cards need rigidity higher up where the struts meet the frame. i would love to see some chap make a rear strut brace.

    how much more bracing do they need?! they are mounted solidly in the rear deck where the back seat support/trunk bulkhead and the rear deck come together, unless you were building a race car and wanted to tie the rears to the rollcage i doubt that you could get them significantly stronger

    split fold seat option!! sounds like a good idea, but its no longer solid behind the seat back equals flex!
