I run at an IHRA track which reqires a roll bar for 11.50 & quicker. I'm running 11.80's subframe connected with no roll bar & the car flexes a good bit. If the roll bar is tied in right It will help with body flex. If you run slicks or hook hard on DOT's you don't want to be with out sub frame connecotrs. The first time I ran slicks with no sub frame connectors, I sheared the floor bolts of the drive shaft loop & chipped the paint on the passenger door with the fender. I also have a wrinkle in the body under the 1/4 window (coupe) from hi rpm launches & 1.5* sec. 60 ft. times.
