wow!
why you need softer springs/spot welding?
far out!
Seriously never seen that on a corolla.....
Even ones that have been rallied/jumped etc....

well if you run over poor little ezma mae and decapitate her with your deadly fender braces while she collects the morning paper cause youre doing 100km/h manjis down the main street at 7am then you deserve to be raped with an unlubed rusty old nightstick by the long arm of the law
If that kind of shit is going to kill someone in another car then chances are you were going to kill them anyway.
Have been looking into making some at work for mine. Decided on flat bar similar to the previously pictured set-up. I've been running 8kg fronts in mine for quite a while and haven't noticed anything structural and I drive on some pretty horrible roads everyday.
There is the feintest crease near my drivers tower but that was caused by an r31 at about 60km/h, so if anything around your towers is falling apart for a daily driver, your car is a bucket or you need to stop taking the dirt tracks to work 7 days a week.

i should update this - in the op i mentioned i have 8.7kg springs in the front - some people are saying thats crazy others are saying its nothing. well, i did some fiddling with the coil-overs and it turns out the previous owner had tightened up the preload on the springs like a mad man.... fixed it up and now it feels like i gone down a couple kg/mm. so, i vote bending the skirt still plausible considering the effective spring rate would be like 11kg/mm - but not if you have mere 8 or 9 springs.
