im starting to think that the frame horns off the torsion housing gonna have be hacked off..looks like its not letting the trailing arms flex back n forth without rubbing n catching on torsion horns i think thats wat its called..looks like trouble waiting happen lol |

| Post subject: | Re: Beeline explorer subaru 2.5 build |
Use 4 pieces, still better then just one flat. One big piece for the base, two small ones for the sides and one medium over the top. The bent one is probibly stronger, but work with what you can |

You just need to stand on the side rail and kind of slide in, its not that bad. And makes me feel alot safer. |
