^ Yeah... been there, done that.

 

It don't look like it'll fit

 

....only one way to find out.
I'll take one for the team

 

Good man.

 

...deed is done.
6pt, rear tie, & M braces are ordered.

Unfortunately .... out of stock for 3 weeks.
But that should be close to DPE time

 

I was speaking to the guys at GT-Spec and it looks like the pictures of the M brace on the website are of the 1st Revision. The 2nd revision is released and has significantly more bends but will still not clear aftermarket exhausts other than the MXP.

 

Thanks Paul, yes I heard about the rev 2 & that was good news.

...but, you still can't really say that it won't clear others,
because it hasn't been tried yet.

stay tuned;
I'll have the definitive answer when mine comes in.
They're about 3 weeks from shipping the new bracket.

 

BTW what are the recommended torque settings for all the bottom braces? I've got a few that have arrived and need to get them installed today, if anyone can shed some light on this I'd appreciate it.

 

Anyone know the torque specs for the FSB?

 

The strut tower bolts should be tightened to 28 ft/lbs.

 

Thanks Mike!

 

Welcome.

 

∧ what about the bottom braces? anyone know what to tighten to?

 

the 3 bolts that hold the blue braces and the top shock mounts are 28ft-lb's.
the hex bolts that hold the bar to the brace I don't really know. Just tighten them hard without breaking them

 

Thank Q8y but I'm asking about the under carriage braces?

All other braces other than the Strut bar?

Basically the 4-point brace 6-point brace, what should these be torqued to?
