Chassis stiffness is something that virtually everyone racing a car wants and needs to some degree. If you go drag racing you do not what the chassis flexing and preventing an even plant of both rear tires onto the track. If you go to the autocross and road course racing you need a stiff chassis to keep the functionality of your suspension at top notch. If the car itself is twisting, the work you have done to upgrade your handling will be all for naught.
And lastly, there’s just the idea that if you own a classic car, especially one that has 40 or 50 years of road going history on it, reinforcing stuff ain’t so bad an idea. This is why Ridetech is coming into the bolt-in subframe connector game now. They are releasing connectors for 1962-1967 Novas as well as 1968-1974 Novas as well. No fab work needed, high quality materials, and a job that you can bang out right in your driveway or home shop.
Good stuff and this is a new player in an established game!
