Posted March 19, 201113 yr comment_349845 Anyone got good recommendations for frame rails for a 240Z? I'd like some heavy duty ones that just fit over the existing rails to add strength and rigidity to the car. I know of only one place to get them off hand and that's Bad Dog Parts. Anyone have experience with their rails?Anyone have a better suggestion (i.e. superior product, cheaper price, etc)?

March 19, 201113 yr comment_349858 You can make your own very easy with some 16ga sheet metal and a small brake. I replaced one side of mine and it took about 4 hours to make them and weld them on.
