I was looking at performance nissan parts today and came across 3 new parts that ive never seen offered for the coupe...

GT Spec Front Lower Tie Brace

GT Spec Rear Lower Tie Brace

GT Spec Rear Lower Lateral Reinforcement Brace

Has anyone installed them? any feedback would be great.

 

As far as I can feel from my current setup the lower braces is not really needed
on our lowering-spring setup with lower spring rates.

What we would prefer is the upper brace (front strut bar) althought unless
you're cornering very hard you won't notice the difference on our
lowering-spring setup. Considering you're running on T1's and
lowering springs, i don't think you'll feel much difference either way.

 

Ken,

I just odered exhaust for my ride, next on my list is the tokicos and stillen sways. Thanks for the feedback on those braces, one more question, what do you feel about the Stillen Rear Strut Brace. After the shocks and sways, will it be worth it? As always ken, thanks for the feedback.

 

I highly doubt you're going to feel anything on the rear stb... the spring rates
that the car is sitting on is just too soft for it. The spring's going to have to
compress all the way and ride on bumpstops before you're going to feel the
stb's. (slight exaggeration, but it's about as worthless on our softer setups).

or setup your D-specs super stiff...which isn't what you want to do anyway
for street.

 

When I do get the shocks what is a good setting to keep them on for the street? I like hitting onramps at 65+, the ones that say Speed Limit: 25MPH... keep that in mind before you gimme a answer.

 

I saw those GT-spec lower braces too, and I think I'll get them eventually. They'll make much more difference tightening up the chassis, than an FSTB/RSTB imo...
