Miata Stiffey
Previous owner of my NA didn't know how to drive & ran underbody into everything he could,so the unibody support rails were smashed,weak and ugly.I had beat them back into shape but still unhappy with their apperance and flimsyness,I decided to replace the rails with tube steel. After,I noticed the Miata is much more rigid w/ minimal flex thru driveways and it actually feels like the suspension is working better.

Props on doing it yourself, but you really could have cured the issue without any cutting and welding, though your way is probably superior. Mine were worse than yours when I got my FM braces, and I hate to beat them back into themselves with a 10lb sledge and using a floor jack and a brick. Even after the "reshaping" I had to force the braces on with the floor jack and held them in place while bolting them on.

terrible music. that song is ******* disgusting.
also i hope you never plan to sell your car again because it is now worth 25$
but if it works well then props. i would have just added a cage to fix the issue though.
