There is so much flex in the OE suspension, the subframe would be the last thing I would worry about. I also don't like the idea of lifting the body by placing a spacer between it and the subframe.

Interesting in the video... When they compare the two cars the blur on the "after" cars wheels seems to make it look like it was going faster when it hit the block, making the suspension instead of the chassis take the load - it would be easy to synch the videos in post production. Also the tire on the after car seem to deflect a lot more, another indicator of increased speed or lowered tire pressure.

QFT.

Echo's don't have this collar, but Jason's right on point - the factory suspension has way more flex than any positive effect this would ever have...
