+1.... GTSPEC is good, but your just beefing up the chasis and making it stiffer.

I recently installed the rear lower brace, and will be purchasing the 6-point brace. My question is about the rivet system used at 2 mounting points. The instructions say to use an impact gun to get the rivet installed into the chassis mounting point. However, others reported not needing to use an impact gun. I don't have an impact gun. Has anyone had experience with this?

SoulFunction makes the same braces and look amazing. They also make other braces for the 370z as well as other cars. You can see my quick and easy install for the 4 point brace https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ld26f9s0rRw&t=2s and I'll be installing the 6 point mid brace soon with a video to follow. The rivet install comes with the required tool, you can use a socket with wrench (hold the tool in place) but will take you time to bolt the bolt/tool down that a impact gun will do faster with less man strength.

Ive been thinking about putting some of these braces on lately. Notice any performance differences with the 4 point brace after installed?
