Thumbs up GTSpec Front & Rear Tie Bars

Received the front tie bar today. The rear should be here Friday. However I'll be in Vegas gambling 1) Mod money away or 2) Winning more mod money. Anyhow here is a quick pic of the front bar. Very nice bar and love the color! Once I return I post installed pics of both. Thanks again to Darren @ Intense coming through of these braces.

Thanks for making a solid product! Looking forward to testing them out at a HPDE I'll be attending on the 28th.

So you say they make a difference between night and day. I hope so. I'm thinking of getting them. I need something more on top of what I already have. I don't like getting products and not acutally feels the difference. Never had subframe braces before. Just paroniod about them.

I have been thinking of getting these as well. It would be nice if it was a night and day difference. I may be down for it, and have to give Darren a call.

I feel alot of parts don't give you the "feeling" of improvement but lap times will show the improvement.

I think I'll give Darren a call tomorrow. It's been awhile since I've ordered anything from him. I really like the silver/green metallic look.

Why didn't you get the rear lateral brace? That would be all three.

Thumbs up More Bracing!!!

Just sent Darren @ Intense to go ahead and place the order for the rest of the underbody braces.

- GTSPEC 4 Point Mid Chassis Reinforcement Brace For 350Z (Pt #: GTS-SUS-1131)

- GTSPEC Rear Lateral Arm Brace in Silver/Green Metallic (Pt #: GTS-SUS-1088)

Hopefully they will be here before I head back to Kuwait. The rear tie bar is waiting at my neighbors till I get home from Vegas.

I'll let you know how everything looks and feels as soon as I can.

I'm installing the 4 point on Tueday (assuming UPS hasn't lied to me, and it arrives on Monday.) If you are back from Vegas, and not doing anything, you are welcome to come over.

I'll be home all day, and Jen can come home around 2 or so. So whatever time is good for you, since this is your vacation! We can hit dinner around here, go down to Powers/carefree area, or over into town, BWW or Famous Daves. It's all good.

Just received the rear tie brace. Here is a quick pic of both:



Received a PM from Darren that the 4-point is on back order. Look like I won't see that till I return again from Kuwait. Hopefully the reat lateral bar will get shipped out today & I'll receive it Thursday. Doubtful though.
