SVT4STV, Thanks again for all your hard work. I just paypal'd you the balance and put my shipping address in there. Let us know here on CEG if there is anything we can do to make the process easier. I handle logistics here at my company and when you have a lot of orders going out, it can get tedious. Thanks again!!!

Hey guys, is there any concern that these will stiffen the car too much, and in the case of a rear-end collision, it will reduce the effectiveness of the 'torque areas' or crumple zones that are meant to absorb the impact in a collision?

i don't have an asnwer to your question but I sure as hell hope they didn't engineer crumple zone in the middle or cabin area of the vehicle 
and if this would make the cabin area stiffer and resist crumpling that would be a good thing in my book 
I believe the crumple zones are located in the engine bay and trunk areas of the vehicle as I would believe it is the goal to keep the cabin area as intact as possible thus increasing the chance of survival in an acciedent

for front and rear collisions, it shouldnt, I would be more worried about side impact. additional strength to lower frame may transfer more of the collision force upwards. In that case you may alter the crumple zones.
Reguardless, your insurance company may not look kindly on it reguardlessly.
yes... I am a cougar owner trolling on your board.

I was in an accident on Tuesday (chinese food delivery driver went thru stop sign on my green light) and when I was talking to the collision guy about welding in these connectors, he mentioned this concern to me...and a crumple zone would be affected by the install...just thought I would mention it.
