Strengthening up the rear cradle

Hi all I know this isn't the right area to post but for some reason it's the only place I can post.

I'm looking for help and guidance on the weak points of the rear cradle, I've read somewhere that there is a lot of flexin the rear and I'd like to strengthen up the rear end while the cradle is out to get the new diff casing in. Any helps would be great.
Cheers

I'm building a street/ strip rx8 and I'm changing the diff assembly, and while I'm modifying the cradle to suit I was trying to find out if there is any arms or bars that would need uprating to strengthen up the back end.

Black Halo Racing has upgraded drive shafts. But, unless your turbo/supercharged, you won't need them for a Renesis.

Thanks I'm in the process of a v8 engine change and I looked in the rear capibities and I was told the full rx8 diff and shaft were no good so I'm swapping the diff and getting some custom shafts to suit the change. But I wasn't sure if there was and other weak links to look into
