    Just to be absolutely clear, to fully address the issue with your kit, it would consist of the underside plates, topside beam kit, front mount extension, and rail plates? Or are the rail plates not needed with the bar?

    Also, would you recommend the 6 point brace for a weekend car with, at this moment, limited track use?

    And to bother you one last time, what bushings would you suggest at stock ride height? Prefer to keep the cheap stock camber arms for now as well. I'm between stock, or Turner.

    Thanks for your time; definitely looking forward to placing an order.

      Hey mate,

      The chassis rail plates are included within the topside beam kit.

      The brace does technically add further strength to the subframe mounts however, isn't necessary to prevent failure. If you want the back end race car stiff then go for it. Down to personal preference IMO.

      I'd suggest solid bushings as they really do make the car feel a lot more responsive and direct in the back end. If you're wanting to keep stock ride height/camber arms and not raise the subframe then I would say the brand is not significant as they are all very similar so I'd go by which is most competitively priced among the reputable brands.

      Not a problem. feel free to message me if you ever want to discuss anything further.

        Awesome, thanks for answering all my questions. You've been a big help! I'll get in contact come December; definitely looking for all three reinforcements, and maybe the brace.

                  Just purchased both the underside plates and the racp rail plates from cmp for the cavity in the trunk. Hopefully that's a good enough set for a daily and leaves room for a stable bar across the rear shocks in the future maybe for a better reinforcement. Thank everyone in the chat for discussing, as I was literally on my way to tackle number 2 of 3 in E46 bulletproofing. I happen to read on and noticed aussiee46 business and loves the idea. I'll let you guys know the end result. Thanks for the help.
