No figures, but I do know that the car flexes _ALOT_ when I jack it up 
and put it on jackstands.   I'm not impressed at all.  Seems as flimsy as 
a '70s Vette!   They made it handle pretty well despite the flex however, 
so I guess I'll put up with it for now.    A front strut brace will help 
a little, BTDT.   OTOH, its good for crashworthyness, if that matters to 
you.
