which is why I can't work out why people try to make their GTST's into R copies or try to make them faster.

My saying is that if you want a faster car , buy one from the manufacturer. Usually works out cheaper in the long run.

ken - yea.. well maybe half of it is in my head - but i honestly think it has made a diff.... u don't think they are worth it?

I assume you are talking about the brace between the shock mounts under the bonnet and not the sway bars under the car.

Strut braces work if they are attached to the suspension ( ie Macpherson strut style. )

The lines are double wishbone and the mount you are attaching to is not a stressed member of the car.Also unless it is straight and substantially thick , it will flex anyway.

I think you would find if you did an MC type day with the bar on and off , the difference would be marginal.

But hey , it looks cool and I have em on my car ( cos they came with it )

ken - hmmm everything you say sounds right.. but it still seemed to make a difference... maybe it is all in my head... but as you said - they look cool.. hehehe :(

paul - springs will be on the cards definitely.. was talking to no_respect tonight when i picked up the brace - his is about the right height (only about an inch lower than mine) and he said that he still retained a firm but comfy ride... he also said they're pretty damn easy to fit?

    • Been a long while since i have updated this money pit lol.  Have had a few tune related issues with the car, first blowing the frost plug out the back of the head and then blowing the headgasket 3 months later, which has now been retuned and sorted. Done a few little changes along the way as well, i wasn't happy with the wheel and brake setup, so start of last year i managed to get myself a set of r35 brakes and nismo lmgt4 18x10.5 +15 Upgraded to now running a Precision Gen 2 6870 with a 1.15ar, to be honest felt more like a downgrade as the car feels much lazier around town compared to the Gen2 6466 previously. 0761719E-5683-43F7-BD3B-4BD94335DFF4.mov
