I am pretty confident the stock shock tower seam welded with a couple of gussets would be stronger than that kit. A flat plate with a stiffener up the back isn't a real good design.

I only put small gussets on my first beam, but my current thing beam has much bigger gussets.

I agree they could have done that better

what he did with the lower trailing arm would be illegal here too. you can't weld forged suspension components for street cars.
