GTSpec Bracing...
Already had the rear tie brace so I figured I pick up the rest. Waiting on GTSpec to release their front tie brace for oversized oil pans. Will be putting these on as soon as I get my car back.

- Rear Lateral Arm Brace (Old Color)

quite curious, did you notice anything from the rear lower tie brace? and what exhaust are you running that allow you to run the rear lateral arm brace?

As for the GT Spec 4pts brace, I had it before removing it. I removed it because it was too low as a daily driver at the time. Since my Z is a weekend car now, I was thinking of picking one up. When I removed it, I can tell a difference in driving. My ride was a bit stiffer.
Sorry didn't mean to hijack this thread.

the mid point ladder brace gave me little ground clearance with my suspension setup. Scraped every mild speed bump to mild driveway. Took it off after a week. Gl with that. The tanabe one is even worse!!!
The rear lateral should fit most if not all td exhausts 2.5 or less. It won't fit 3 in single path exhausts or the oem exhaust for that matter.
I have a rear tie brace but it looks like there might be clearance issues with my amuse exhaust.
Still waiting on the updated front lateral brace that will clear upgraded oil pans.
The fender braces look the most promising to me; too bad gtspec does not make them for the g coupe as of yet.

Huh, I have the 4 point sitting in my garage,. Had it on for one day, and too much scraping. Didn't think about install/uninstall for track days, might be a good idea.

G35 Fender braces will be out soon. We originally extended the Z ones but found that one of the angles would have created a weakened brace under heavy load. The new design is even better than we first anticipated.
