GTSPEC 6 Point Ladder Brace

time for me to resurrect an old thread. Just to sum it up, if you are lowered, these 3 braces will scrape like crazy?

Default 6 Point Brace on convertible.

Added GTSpec 6 point brace to add rigidity to a convertible. Jeffblue has provided good description of install. To add to my experience to the description, the convertible had two small brace section on the left and right that I had to remove to fit the GTSpec brace. I had not noticed these in previous posts. Maybe these are unique to the convertible? These are shown in 1st pic.

GTSpec brace fitted well, captive nuts worked out OK.

I have been having problems with car tracking when crossing uneven surfaces in the road. The 1st drive maybe showed better rigidity. I did not scrape anything, but my car is not lowered. I have not crossed speed bumps yet.

I will update when I have more driving.

In Puerto Rico 6point brace scrapes on every single speed bump even on the stock height.
