Once I get my new coil over set up and raise the car up a little more, I will put the GT Spec and Tanabe ladder supports on.

Argghhh. Thanks for the info, I am lowered about 1.5", I will reconsider the bracing. I was worried about the rear bars being an issue with my APS TD 3" exhaust....

any questions, let us know

I'm considering the GT Spec stuff for my 2005 Roadster. I do have a bit of cowl shake I'd like to get rid of. Will these braces help minimize that?

I don't see how a brace at the bottom is going to cure a shake at the top

Because of it's "sandwiched" structure, it's shape and it's connecting points, it is very efficient and rigid. In good structural design, strong,doen't mean heavy.
