GT-Spec Bars

GT-Spec Bars
Last night I took a trip in the rain to MRC to pick up my new set of GTspec bars.
Today afterwork i took a trip to Kel's Shop to get them installed.
Installation took about a hour at most after spending 20 minutes trying to get on the lift.
The bars instalation went smooth.
Plug and Play is the key word with these bars.
Anyway after all was done Kel and I decide to test out the car on some twisties.
Going down the route there is too much traffic not enough open space to test it.
We make a U-turn to test the car on the other side of the route.
I push the car thru the U-Turn the car gripped and the tires screamed in pain.
The tires did not lose grip not once.
After we come out of the U-Turn What do I see in front me but a brand new Murcielago in Orange.
Needless to say I wanted to have some fun and there was hardly any trafic on the road.
So we going at it a little bit just to let each other know that it's all good to get it on.
At the next light a RSX decides to join the race.
He jumps the red light.
The Murcielago and I go on green.
RSX is no where to be seen real quick.
Its just me and the Murci when I slow down on tight turn.
We doing about 100+.
He finally passes me as I slow down and I guess he didn't realise how fast he was going.
He tried turning into my lane and almost lost it and over corrected.
I drop it to 4th and gun it thru out the whole turn.
Not once did the car lose grip.
You just hear the tires squealing in pain but gripping.
At the next light he made a right with his tail between his legs
I tell you my car felt planted before but at the limit the rear use to break out.
I had no issues with that but now I can't seem to find the limit.
The car seems to have unlimited amount of grip.
I can't wait to put it on Race Track or AutoX event and really push it.
If you done sways, Coilovers and feel you can still improve your suspension.
You can and these bars are it.
Most people that know me know that I don't street race.
I was just testing out the limit with the new bars and I hardly push my car past 6700RPM until I saw that Murci.
I like to thank Julian at MRC for ordering the bars for me.
I also like to thank Kel for installation and taking the test ride with me.
GTspec for making these beautiful bars for the G35.
Here are some pics.
Don't mind how dirty my car looks its been raining here for days.

Dang, looks like the lower rear brace may interfere with my SPC toe bolts.
Glex . . . How is the clearance with the chasis brace? That set-up has to be riding quite low to the ground. After looking under my G, I don't know if I'll be able to clear the speed bumps that I encounter everyday.

I have checked to see how much lower the car is now with these but I think I would hit the sideskirts before hitting the bars.
I was more worried as texascout said about the oil change being a little messy now with the front bar sitting right below the screw for the oil pan.
Well thats why I take it to a dealer

well after about 15-20 minutes trying to get the car on the lift, glex's car is way lower than it looks, we install the braces and take it out for a test drive. trust me when I say the car handles amazing, so much in fact that the guy driving the lambo almost crashed the car into the rails trying to follow us at like 80mph on the turn. I would recommend these braces to anyone tired of feeling the chassis flex when taking hard turns.
