Can't answer for a coupe, but my vert leaves identical trails of rubber from both wheels, so I don't think it is flexing the frame a great deal.

The vert is a very rigid car. I am able to jack up the car from one corner and 3 corners will come up. This isn't your conventional weak unibody car by any means.

It shouldn't be a problem. The car is very rigid. If you want some extra "insurance", get an Elite Engineering tunnel plate.
