Until a local sedan owner installs one, I can't say 100% it will.

I got the brace installed, Richard was very cool and worked with me on a couple issues I had the first time around. I had some rubbing with my resonated test pipes, but we used two spacers and that gave me perfect fitment and the clearance from the exhaust that I needed.

Thanks for the hookup with this deal Will!

I need to call Richard because I think the only time I'll have a chance to do anything will be early on Saturday as my calendar is filling up for the weekend.

Thumbs up

reviving an old thread, but for good reason. This 4 point brace does indeed fit the sedan! For $99 I wish I had done this a long time ago. It makes the car feel great. It forces the suspension to be more efficient and my car finally feels good going over bumps...much less jiggly jiggly.

I love this bar over the GTSpec, in that the front two mounts actually attach to the suspension and the rear two to the frame. So needless to say, my turn-in response at higher speeds is hugely improved. If it had a little quicker steering ratio, it would now feel exactly like my old 350z. The steering feedback is tremendous now. I had no complaints before, but now with the extra rigidity along with the steering response, I'm quite happy.

The only downside is it drastically reduces clearance. The mounting points could be a good 1/2" shorter and it would still fit. This may not be the case with a stock exhaust though, so I'm giving Top Speed the benefit of the doubt. We'll see how I do once I encounter some speed bumps.
