Cut them suckers off! We have found there is no advantage to the stiffeners, the only thing they do is move the hinge point in the chassis to the roll cage bar close to where the dash rivets. It does nothing for the front end stiffness. We do however cut a very small slit through the bar, making the competition think we are using them. We've found the bars tighten the cars up on big tracks. Hate them on short banked tracks also. Jmo
