There is not too much to the rear supports. D&R's rear design for the side frame rails looks much better than most of the kits I've seen. Although optional, the new design fits the car rather well. |

This is the rear bumper support that is welded to the rear frame rails. |

 |
| D&R's design has you completely remove the rear upper frame rail fabricating a new support bracket and frame rail. | About 2" of the upper outside part of the shock tower is removed in order to fabricate an L shaped support bracket. As indicated by the yellow marking. |

| Finished bracket. Note how clean it is. | Note all the extra frame supports, this rear end isn't going anywhere! |

| Side view of rear framing. | Similar to the side framing picture, this is where the rear framing ties into the rest of the car. |

 |
| There's a piece of steel that slides in through the top of the firewall. This not only is hidden, but provides for a very strong support. | Another picture of the modified shock tower. |
