Too stiff and the car would have snap oversteer. The chassis just won't flex when the body rolls during cornering. Definitely not for uninitiated drivers. But in the hands of more seasoned drivers, it's the next-best-thing to driving nirvana without much added weight of additional chassis strenghtening material. And for this group of drivers, crumple zone isn't the main priority. They know the compromises that came with it. Actually, there shouldn't be so much of heated discussion on this matter. It's just the difference of needs/wants and priorities. Don't do it if u think u don't need it. Do it if u think u can handle the stiffer chassis (and the aftermath mod on the suspension). 'Wat mod?' u might ask. Having a stiffer chassis means having the suspension system working harder as the chassis would not flex as much after foaming. For that reason, ur suspension system need to be in good condition to feel the full effects of the stiffer chassis. Would I do it? I would, I just need to find the time and some assistance to do it. And a spare car to use as I leave the car unused for at least 3 days for the foam to cure.</blockquote>
