The chassis of the 370z is very rigid so unless you have full coilovers/sways and track the car often, I doubt there would be a noticeable difference in performance when adding the GTspec braces.

I installed both. They do improve stiffness, but you will only feel it doing some serious driving/tracking. View it as more of a compliment to sways and/or coilovers.
If you're looking for a low cost way to stiffen up the Z, sways are the answer.

Thanks for all of the inputs.
I did talk to equinox. And he said he didn't feel any improvement.... I will install both of the braces when I get my sway bar and the 2nd brace. Right now I just have the ladder brace. At first I didnt know if I should just install or sell them. Looks like I will install them. After these, I will be getting a set of coilover and than I am done with my suspension. Happy Friday.
