[QUOTE="Izso, post: 1063515030, member: 2429"] There are several packages. It ranges from 600 to 2xxx for KL Auto's autofoam. The chassis in general is hollow. This allows for flexing whenever stressed. Autofoam fills these cavities and hardens up. It's not hard like cement but it's hard enough to stiffen up the chassis to flex less hence the feeling of a stiffer chassis. This can't compare with spot welding and a roll cage but it's the 'low profile' way to a stiffer chassis. And because the hollow bits are no longer hollow, it reduces / dampens sound therefore giving you a supposedly quieter ride. There's a catch though, Autofoam is well known to be a Wurth product. But the exact code is no longer available to be bought from Wurth themselves so it looks like you can only get it from Autofoam dealers. Other types of foams don't stiffen up like this Wurth product and some stiffen up only to become brittle and crumbles easily. So before you consider another brand (profoam or whatever), better do some research first before deciding! Lastly - cars that are foamed and get caught in a flood are doomed to have rust problems because autofoam is pourus so water will get trapped in there... [/QUOTE]
