A dyno won't show rigidity differences in the chassis. They're only for measuring power from the driveline.
you'd need to do on track testing with yaw sensors and a bunch of other gear,which would be a waste of time for something like that,as there would be minimal to no difference.

Once a subframe is bolted in place,it doesn't move. All a spacer between the bolts and the mounting holes will do is reduce the possibility for misalignment of the subframe to the body some during assembly,assuming that the bolt holes themselves are perfect. misalginment can be compensated for when doing a wheel alignment anyway,as the differences are usually tiny.

if you want to stiffen up the body,you'd be better off looking into strut and chassis braces by toms and the like.
Remember that spoon also make oil caps and reservoir socks...not everything they make is necessary...

Maybe i didnt make myself clear, i know a "dyno" wont show any data regarding rigidity
"Chassis" dyno. Which yep, as you said, has sensors placed along the length and critical points of the rails, towers etc etc... sorry i didnt make that clear.

Im not really that keen on the whole collar thing now, like you said, and my chassis guys said, he would like to see more data.

... but i want reservoir socks... sick of my old dirty glove. Just jokes..
