Factory Braces removed

i believe the z has adequate bracing from the factory. any extra bracing will just add weight or lose weigh from your pockets.

GT removed the black steel W frames. Must be lighter...
Guy's any weight comparisions?
Cheers Amy

Just got these installed onto my car guys- here are the pictures.

Front picture 1:
These are sold as front and rear pair (together) for $159 shipped.
I already have front and rear cusco sways on my car, as well as Cusco Zero 2 coilovers. After installing these, the back end of the car does bite down harder in a turn, but I was definately able to notice that turn in was quicker than before. Very easy install as well - front and rear can be done in about 30 minutes. There is no increased noise or vibration at all from these bars.
Orders can be placed online here, and these are in stock, ready to go! The other lower chassis braces shown earlier in the thread are still under development, but rest assured as we will be testing them as soon as possible!

The pic of hoiw the front one installs is on the first page - I did not take any other pics of it installed on my car, as my battery was on the verge of dying.
ether - every exhaust is different, so no way for me to tell for sure. The piping on mine is 3 inches and it's close, but it clears and does not hit at all.
As for weight, they literally weight nothing - a lb to lb and a half each at most, as they are aluminum
No ETA on the others yet - still in development

Adam--
Thank you for providing the additional information to the board members. The rest of the system will be released one follow another after our exhibition in SEMAIAS in Atlantic City. I'm sure that Mark will be working closely with you on more testing sessions.

Thank you for your interest in our new developed system. Regarding your question, I'm sorry to say that special color order is hard to fulfill due to production process. However, we will OEM for a major brand that happen to have the color red as their product color. Therefore it could be possible in a couple months. I'm sure Adam can help you out when it becomes an option.

As mentioned, special order colors are really hard to do, as these are manufactured in very large quantities. In order to do so, we would need an order of at least 100 pairs to have the colors changed I think. Being aluminum, it is very easy to paint though. To be honest, the bars are not visable on the car at all unless it is in the air. The front one is totally covered by the lower plastic cover, and the rear is tucked up near the rear diff cover, which is not visable when the car is on the ground unless you look up from the ground, or the car is on a lift.

OK, I tried installing these today. Rear bar took about 2 minutes. I couldn't figure out how to loosen the front transverse link nuts. The nut is about 2" from the steering rods and I couldn't get a rachet in there. Tried an impact on the bolt but nothing. Not sure what to do without removing the steering rod from the steering knuckle but I don't have the tool for that.
Probably just a tool issue.
