What kind of difference? I've been curious about these as well...

What's the difference between what the lower tie brace and rear lateral arm brace do? I see they have a frint tie brace as well...

Will this stuff really make a noticable difference in handling (and how so?, i.e. what do you feel in the seat of your pants?) anywhere but the track?

here are pics of the rear lower arm bar (pic1) and rear lower arm bar lateral brace (pic2). There are several reviews that have been posted on these





The rear lateral brace only fits with a true dual exhaust

Good to know. I have the Nismo, so this piece is out for me.

I've searched around, but haven't found any detailed reviews on the tie bars...

I've got adjustable lateral and toe links on my own car...that pic is not mine

yes you can use the spc bolts as well...the bar is aluminum, so very easy to expand the holes on it

I'd still like to hear some testimonials of the tie bars (F&R). Considering picking them up, but only if I'm really going to be able to feel a difference. I already have Nismo suspension, which improved the handling greatly over stock and my Nismo rims and Falken RT615s give me great feel and crisp turn-in; will it be worth it for me to invest in these???

So if I have SPC already I'll need a realignment, because someone chimed in on a disscusion like this the other day and said no realignment. And I have this bar coming as I type this.
