Body/ Suspention Tuning Feedback Wanted
Looking at getting the GTSPEC mid chassis reenforcement, front and rear lower tie brace, and rear lateral link tie brace? Any reviews on them?
Also looking atgetting the Kenitix upper A Arm rear camber and traction bars, Any reviews on these?
I've done searching and found nil for reviews.
Thanks
And if any Vendor see's this: Can you PM me, with total shipped price, if you can do a package deal?

I can try to help on feedback on both - since I have both.
GTSPec - On the street, I can't feel any difference at all. Yet, on a road coarse, I did notice my tires to hold better on turns with the ladder brace on.
Kinetix A-Arm - great if you just want to set your camber and leave it. They do improve the performance of the Z over stock, and the arms look to be quality made and designed! If you want to change your camber often - then look for a different brand since it takes about two hours to adjust the camber with the Kinetix A-Arm. They are also noisier than stock due to the Urethane bushings.
Kinetix rear Camber/Traction bars - Great design and so easy to adjust.
If you want any specifics - PM me with them.

Here is an update right now, went with Cusco A-Arms, stayed Kenitex on the traction & camber arms.
After much research I've decided the Cusco was the better deal and woud fit my needs. The Kenitex just looked weaker with the non tubular design. Doing the ME thing with the math there 6 major weak spots and the worst 2 were on the single arm connecting the out side of the set up. All the stress and weight was on it. It looks like th Cusco evenly distributes the weight accros the entire plate and then down to the member.
Here is my local thread thus far for my full suspention build, minus coilovers. I'll post reviews on the full set up after its done. Obviously its not going to be a peice by peice so it will not help too much unless some one wanted to duplicate my efforts.

I didn't go with Cusco since their welds look pretty bad and the way the camber plate design on the Cusco doesn't look like it would stay in place over time. Although I am going to change my A-Arm's to 350evo's soon since the Kinetix is such a pain to change the Camber. The 350evo is the only camber plate design that doesn't look like it will move when you really push the car. I know for a fact that the Kinetix work on and off the track! Just want to change the camber at the track!
