texasz Posted March 19, 2011 Share #1 Posted March 19, 2011 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)?

cozye Posted March 19, 2011 Share #3 Posted March 19, 2011 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.

texasz Posted March 19, 2011 Author Share #6 Posted March 19, 2011 Thank you for the replies guys!! gnosez, those links were great!! Very helpful and informative.Blue, I already knew about Bad Dog and was preparing to order I just wanted to make sure that was the right part and from the links from gnosez it appears as though it is.
