Group Buy: GTspec Fender Reinforcement Brace
bought my set off g35man but am realizing how much time and all that to install these plus I don't have an impact. Whoever wants to buy my set pm me. Still in original packaging etc. Not trying to clog up the thread just easiest to post here. - Mike
Yea nothing night or day but it does feel more planted than before, my tires started giving before i could push harder so i had to back off. I may feel it more once i get new front tires
I agree, the front end feel slightly more solid. Its nothing I can really put my finger on like the reduced flex after a mid chassis brace install, but it feels better in general. I think the turn in is a little more crisp as well.
Similar to a chasis brace, I wasn't envisioning this part to really prove itself until pushed (hard corner exists and entrances).
Not yet. The next session I expect to attend is early next month. It's an autocross this time though, so it should stress the braces more than a road course.
The fender braces really shine on initial turn in response (IMO from when I installed them on my Z)
every little bit tends to add up together for a much tighter feel

yeah I was really surprised by the rear strut brace to be honest.. I didn't think I would feel anything, but since I had done all my other suspension it put that bar to work. Very noticeable.
I plan to install ths looong weekend (if I can stay sober for any extended period of time).
I don't want to damper the thread, but I think it died because:
- Not a lot have installed yet (Semi complex, time consuming & instructions/fitment may be a bit weak)
- Many don't push their cars that hard to really notice a big diff (and there's no show with this part)
My suspension is 100% stock (right now) and I'm going to kick the crap out of my car once I get this on. I've only tracked once with my car (when I got it at the end of last summer) but hopefully I can provide a good before and after review in a few weeks.
