Message: <blockquote data-quote="cataphrax" data-source="post: 3365657" data-attributes="member: 24778">yeah as 2O2R said, they only fill chassis spots. as far as i know from what i've managed to gather from the 2 people i know who've auto foamed thier chassis, there are a few packages. the basic one being the part where they fill your lower chassis being the bottom sills and such and the full on package would be the one that they fill your A B and C pillars with foam so basically you'll have a safety cell, a much version of the system that smart cars use. the information i can give you about autofoam is limited as i didn't do it to my car. i would suggest you get in touch with the autofoam people liaise directly with them regarding whatever concerns you might have. http://www.autofoam.com.my/no la i finally didn't do it coz i put in the RC. so since the RC managed to stiffen the chassis and reduce body roll AND since the car was previously dynamatted by alvin, i decided against it as i wouldn't benefit much from it.regarding accidents, i'm not very sure but logically speaking, yes it would a bitch to fix is the autofoamed area absorbed a direct hit during a collission but most of us get involved in minor accidents which either just affect bodyparts and lamps. and in most cases we're hit from the front or the back. so don't really have to worry in that sense i guess unless you have a really really serious accident where the chassis is affected. in which case i would decide to just repair back and sell off because the chassis rigidity and balance would be affected already.and as i mentioned earlier, essentially what were doing when stiffening the chassis is hardening certain areas including crumple zones so its one of the trade off. if you think about it if you put all those chassis braces also you're gonna be in trouble if anything happens. lets say you have a front top mount bar. and you have a collision on the drivers side. the tire, your arm and the chassis absorbs most of the impact. but because of the bar, some of the force is transferred over to the top mount area on the passenger side as well, so now you have additional damage on the other side. its basically the how science thing on how energy is never lost only transferred to another form of energy.</blockquote>
