New goods for the ride! For those who haven't seen the new silver color of the GTSPec chassis braces, here ya go. Enjoy.




Special thanks to partshipperdave for the fast responses and shipping.

 

congrats!

...take some pics of the mid-lower brace & post em' up.

 

Any issues with the toe bolts being too short on the rear? I know a few had these issues when installing

 

That new color is a lot better than the bright blue they used to use. How big of a difference do these braces make?

 

I've got em on my 06 in addition to coilovers and a rear strut bar and I can definately feel the diffeence. Just orderd the richie front strut bar so i'm sure my handling will be even better!!!!
The only thing with the midchassis brace is sometimes I scrape going over a speedbump or up a driveway every now and then but no one's going to see the bar so no biggie...

 

Doesnt the rear strut bar fvck up the trunk and leave you with no trunk space?

 

No, it just connects the 2 strut housings, you still retain some of the tiny truck

 

what mid lower brace?
I have the mid chassis and rear lower. the front lower tie brace is comin from GTSpec. I haven't had a chance to install them. I live in an apartment and don't have jackstands. I'll probably save it until i get an exhaust, the rear lateral arm brace, and sway bars.
They should stiffen up the chassis a bit makin it more rigid. i'm expecting results similar to richie's front strut bar.

 

dave at partshippers. great prices.

 

the strut bar will only take away a very small portion of the potential volume capacity that you can store in the trunk, but it undeniably limits what you can store back there - which is the only thing holding me back from getting it.

with it installed, you can't really take full advantage of being able to fold down the rear seats for that extra space for those oversized packages.

 

Does anyone know what the torque specs to install these bars?

 

Sorry to keep high-jacking the thread, but are the braces(besides the big mid lower brace) worth getting if I do NOT get the big mid lower brace? Or is it an all or nothing deal?

 

I'm sure they are. You just won't get all the rigidity if you did have the mid chassis brace.

 

Not worth the lesser trunk space that it creates....Im sure it helps in handling, and I know to each their own...but I appreciate the little trunk space I have now, I wouldnt want to ruin the better daily riding qualities my coupe has to the Z, an all out sports car. There's many other suspension mods that you can do....
