JDM ITR Front end conversion: Will the car still keep its ridgitness?

I was wondering if the steps of drilling off the front support and welding on the new one will affect the way the car handles....?

i am looking into buying the kit..... ,but trying to make sure I dont jump the gun right away ...... may be out of my budget aswell =0/

thanks

if you properly replace everything that you remove it shouldnt make any difference. additionally a radiator support shouldnt be thought of as a structural member so much as just some piece of metal to hang a radiator on. lol.

im exagerating a bit but anything in front of the shock towers that isnt a frame rail isnt going to matter a whole heck of a lot.

LOL a Honda radiator support seen as structural support. Those things are so flimsy, you should see how mangled they get in like a 5mph crash. Dont worry about "ridgitness" or rigidity either.
