As for the effectiveness of the GT subframe bars, I have heard of no independant testing to prove that they do or dont do anything

got some pics of GT SPEC bars... and...
here are some pics of gt spec's brace bars...
i was gonna install them all but i have to clear this issue out first... then i will try it...
GT spec said rear lateral brace bar doesn't fit to G35C but it did yesterday... so MRC guys installed rear lateral brace bar as i requested...
but... here is another issue...
couple of hours after i installed them all tick tick sounds comes from rear suspension... and i really bothers me...
right after they installed them, i testdrove it and let them know the tick tick sound comes from rear... and while one of MRC guys testdrove my car... we couldn't hear anything... it's so weird...
so while i was on the way back home, i turned off cd and closed windows, tried to focus on the sound from rear... then i defintely heard tick tick sound come from the rear suspension, it's getting louder... so now, i can hear everytime i pass by the bumps... and little harsh road...
i know springs and other stuff takes a week to settle down... but this is not a normal sound from new coilovers... or brace bars might make weird sounds...
i'm not sure anything yet so i have to go to MRC soon to check them...
i just want to let u guys know that the results from the installation of GTSPEC tie brace bars and TEIN CS coilovers...

Another question. Do those braces reduce ground clearance underneath the car? In the pics it looks as though they would. I ask because I'd like to get those braces but the path to my underground parking lot is a squeeze as is. I barely rub my exhuast pipe right below the shifter area. If this setup reduces ground clearance then I'll probably not be able to make the trip down into my garage. The big crossmember part you have underneath the shifter area and the one large lateral piece under the differential look like they would eat up on ground clearance severly. Could you please give me some info on this? Thanks.

By the way, from the pics it looks like that one lateral brace underneath your differential doesn't have enough clearance and could be making contact with your exhaust pipe. That could be the reason your hearing some noises when you go on rough roads or bumps. It looks awfully close to that pipe.

as u can see...
lateral bar really close to exhaust pipe... this could be another reason why tick tick sound comes from rear...
i will try gtspec and mrc tommorow to get some clues and also i will post the result... so that everybody here knows that lateral bar for Z doesn't work or does work with G35C...

i am on the verge of getting the Tein CS kit for my coupe. from what i've seen on different websites, it says it has minimal adjustibility (Front: 0.6 - 1.4; Rear: 0.4 - 1.0). Can you verify this. Pics would help. I plan on getting 20s, and my goal is to tuck 1/2 inch of tire both in front and back. will this be possible with Tein CS??? thank you

Just to be clear... the tie bars, and the mid chasis brace fits... the only question is the lateral bar? As for the chasis brace, did it bolt right on, or was there any drilling that had to be done to mount it?
