Default GT Spec Front Lower Tie Bar Help

What did you have to remove? it seems as if I am going to have to cut or remove part of the plastic under panel to make this fit. also the control arm bolts seem as if they have to come out instead of removing a nut you must remove a bolt?

Thanks

Remove the nut , remove the bolt , install brace and install your underpanel . No cutting needed.

correct, since you have the newer version which is meant to clear the larger aftermarket oil pans/spacers

Thanks Z1, I'm probably going to install these this coming weekend and this definitely would have pissed me off a little.

yep, I gave mine away too when I did my new engine because of the ARC oil pan, but the newer versions were designed to clear the pans and spacers
