Aka, seam welding and stuff like that is unnecessary. Especially on a street car. You said that you don't haven't spent time on a track, I'd strongly suggest you do that before you go crazy with your chassis and suspension first. There's no sense in 'fixing' certain ride characteristics if you don't know what to look for. Check out my post in the Road Racing section for more info on suspension/chassis tuning: <a href="http://sn95forums.com/showthread.php?57886-How-to-properly-set-up-a-cars-geometry-for-road-racing-And-which-parts-do-what" target="_blank">http://sn95forums.com/showthread.php?57886-How-to-properly-set-up-a-cars-geometry-for-road-racing-And-which-parts-do-what</a>If you really want your car to be the biggest sleeper out there, you need to do a driver mod. And there's no real way that you'll become a great driver (responsibly) without getting on a closed course. Even if it's just spending hours on an autocross lot. Many times creating an overly aggressive suspension set-up will hurt the average drivers abilities. They allow for maximum grip, but once you go beyond that point of max grip they become very unpredictable and unstable. Just food for thought.</blockquote>
