    I would brace those boxes. Have a peek at the Motosport trailing arm I posted.
    Brake harder. Go faster. No shit.

      The motorsport one is braced to give absolutely zero deflection with the uniball joints, braced swing arms and so on in serious track use. My car is regular street csr with rubber bushings. So there is lot of deflection from other places already and the braces would be quite useless. Those would just make toe and camber adjusting even more difficult than it already is.

      And from from strongness point of view, those are beefier than the original ones that are not even fully welded on.

        My observation was that as you raise the pivot point, there's more torque on the mount (longer lever-arm).

        Pazi's look great!

            First day at the track with the IE mounts and the pivot point raised 12mm. Car handled great, love the setup.
