Just got install done at Z Car
Hey all,
Just came back from Z Car Garage to get my GT Spec front tie brace and new wheels and tires put on. Here's some pictures - sorry about the quality - it's from my camera phone:
GT Spec front tie brace- in front of it, in red, is my sway bar. As you can see, the front tie bar sits right underneath the oil pan, with little clearance. The drain plug is on the right side, just above the tie brace. If oil changing gets messy, I intend to put in a Fumoto valve.
GT Spec midchassis brace - the shot was taken facing the front; you can see the catalytic converters on the bottom, on either side of the oil pan. I also have the lateral rear arm brace (no picture, sorry)
And here's some pics of my car with the new wheels and tires.
The wheels are 19" Nismo LMGT4s, 8.5" in front, 9.5 in back. The tires are Falken FK452, 245/35/19 in front, 275/35/19 in back. I know the guy in back looks like he's lurking, but he was actually taking pictures.
I think I'm ready for the twisties now.
Maybe it's me, but the steering does feel a touch lighter now.

As part of the install, they took the TPS sensors out of my stock wheels and put them in the new ones.
