Need Opinion on Removing Interior Bracket on 2009 WRX Hatch
Figure this is the best place to ask. I'm currently stripping down my interior for a full roll cage that will be going in in April.
I've removed all brackets from the interior, but there are two in question I'm not sure if I should go after. They sit in the rear quarter and bridge from the wheel well to the c pillar. They were used for seat mounts or seat belts, I forget, but I'm sure it's also providing some chassis rigidity. With the cage going in I don't know if I'll need them since the cage may make up for the loss in rigidity. The car is being built for drag so I'm not overly concerned with adding a tiny bit of flex to the chassis. I'll be asking my cage fabricator, just curious if anybody on the forums has dealt with these brackets/braces.

that part is definitely adding rigidity
how important who knows probably more important in cornering when the suspension is pushing up on that area |

Heard back from my fabricator. He recommends getting rid of them. Looks like I just added a couple more hours of spot weld drilling to my work list.
