Justin you are about 12 hours to late. We went on a drive around noon today. We have a group of assorted cars with sug groups in it. Go below to sign in and say hi. we will be trying to go on another ride in December but definitely will be meeting for lunch or dinner to discuss some group stuff. Anyway like I said go check out the site below.

Jon were you at the Dragon earlier today. I think it may have been you headed back to Knoxville as we were travelling up.

yea that was me, i was going to meet you guys at the hilton, but i drove by around 11 and didn't see anyone, so i went just went up there, got the front tie brace and rear tie brace from GTSpec put on yesterday and wanted to test them out, i highly recommend picking some up i could tell a difference just pulling out of the driveway, but on the dragon it was like it was on rails, just didn't have enough grip since it was 30 degrees today got some pictures too, did a bumper tuck on the rear, think it looks pretty good,



just thought this was a cool picture so throwing it in

And of course we were all running late. Next time we all go and you want to run give me a call so I can look for you. Send your pics to Tony if you don't mind him putting them up under your car.

supposedly the braces just make the car more rigid and removes the leaning aspect on turn it, or at least that's what im noticing, i have almost no lean now, and i can't wait to get the lateral arm brace and the 4 point mid chassis brace, i think price is about 200 for the two i got, 100 for the rear lateral arm im going to get and i like around 250 maybe for the mid chassis, check out www.importpartspro.com Kyle's a great guy to deal with ill be ordering my other stuff through him, i got these two for really cheap someone was done selling as a vendor and had them left over bumper mod was really not too bad, my friend josh did it, just drilled a few holes and bolted it up there, i was thinking that it will be a ***** to clean but i think it should be ok since i don't drive the z in the rain anymore

So how bad is the ride over expansion joints, our bumpy roads etc. with the chassis being more rigid?

the shipping weight on both of the ones i got along with the box was 3.5lbs, the rear was really easy, the front was a bit tough but nothing bad, got lucky enough to pull the bolts out and put them right back in without pulling the suspension apart, don't know if i was lucky or what, but we had to wrap the front one with some heat wrap so it wouldn't bang against the metal on the splash guard, other than that nothing you can't do in the garage
