Contact Rick 91 GT, he can help you more.

Wild rides makes a really nice kit that "fixes" the torque boxes, UPR and Skinnykid racing also make reinforcements. As I said Rick91GT is your best bet.

You can get on eBay and look for reinforcements. The best thing for you to do is take the rear end out and re-weld the boxes back together.

In my car we dropped the rear end, installed "Battle Boxes" from Wild Rides, welded all the seams, and it's very solid now.

It should stop the flex on launch and braking.

If you have general vibration at speed, there's a lot more variables that you should check like the driveshaft, tranny and motor mounts.

To get the parts, Wild Rides has ads in most Mustang mags or you can go to their site at http://www.wildridesracecars.com/chassis3.html.

Good luck,
Jim
