Braces for rear for G35x?

Hello!

I have installed GT Spec strut bar some time ago and I’m very satisfied with the results, the car is definitely more stable!

What would you recommend to stiff my rear a bit (as we have here VERY bad roads and I don’t want to “overstiff” my car):

GTS-SUS-1350



GTS-SUS-1087


GTS-SUS-1349 (if it fits Borla, GT Spec guys are not sure)


?

F@ck me man, that's probably the cleanest bottom end I've ever seen, is your car brand new or something?

Also which braces would you say have benefited you the most?

Also where are you located?

I read a post where a GT spec rep had recommended the GTS-SUS-1087 and GTS-SUS-1349 (above) as being one of the best bang for the buck. I got them from HR Autoparts (site vendor) but have not installed them. The m brace is more curved now than that pic above so there should be no reason why it wouldn't be compatible with most exhausts. I have the Borla myself also. I already have GTS-SUS-1350 installed and think it's worth while. Intgr8r has reviews posted on all of these.

I have the all GTSPec bars, they are great.
They just tighten the car so that it feels like one solid piece (less flex).
They do not change the feel of the ride of the car over bumps etc.

Are all of these options available and install-able for the X? For some reason, I thought they weren't.

I don't think anyone has done it yet, but all three of the rear pieces should work just fine.
From the front diff back, the cars are the same.

what about the 1350 would it fix the X. Off topic - every time i see threads for coilovers, other suspension products, staggered wheels, exhausts and other things that dont fit the X i always think to myself that i should've gotten the 6MT sedan at the dealer when i picked my car up, but because thinking of just for snow i think that i made a bad choice. sorry guys i just had to get it out

yes, according toe GTSPEC, the 1350 will fit.

I think the same thing sunny but, modded X's are that much more rare and fun to mod.

The winter is so hard this year here, so I just wouldn't drive 6MT

P.S. Bat, I think you should install braces at first, test it and after that install the springs, to make sure these braces helping!
