Yes I think it was worth the money. I also plan on purchasing the GTspec 4pt lower brace and lower rear tie bar. Eventually when the Nismo/yamaha lateral dampers are for sale, I will purchase them too.

Once my schedule stabilizes, I plan on getting the KW Variant 3 coilovers and camber kit to complete the suspension setup. By then there should be more sway bar options out to choose from including whiteline.

Sounds like a winning setup man.

I'll be trailing you by a couple months, but I plan on doing virtually the same suspension mods. Still conflicted about lowering the car though. Bad memories with speedbumps and driveways.

Okay, have had these parts on for a little bit. Only thing I have really noticed is the rear doesn't seem to float around as much on high speed corners as it use to. Hard to be to firm on whether it helped a whole lot, track was kinda dusty(sugar cane harvest) so everything felt a little slick anyway. Will post more as time progresses.

Any plans on bringing the Nismo Brace Kit for purchase?

I've been delaying my complete order until these braces arrive

We will be doing the install later this week!

Here is a quick peak at the kit:

The Two Silver Braces go on the underside of the front suspension and the Black/Red Brace actually goes in the interior of the car just behind the driver.

Nice write up guys, adding to my wish list. Dustin, I will be in touch with ya on a two-fer price (twin 370Z') when the time comes.

Bucketman,
Do you have any pics of the bar installed showing where you had to cut the air guide?
Thanks in advance.

bucketman · 01-01-2010, 02:43 PM

I think so. I'll check my camera, if not next time I pop the bumper I'll snap some.

Dustin@Z1 · 01-11-2010, 03:30 PM

I currently have an order in to get more of these in stock. Every one of these I have gotten in have sold to customers from the forums before I could get them listed on the website. As soon as I get them in, I will be listing them on the website.

I ll keep you guys updated as soon as I see them!

vipor · 05-11-2010, 05:25 PM

These will be next after the headers

NewYorkJon34 · 08-07-2011, 11:07 PM

With these, will the gtspec braces even be needed? I have KW V3's, lowered about an inch so the 6-point gtspec brace is outta the picture due to clearance, not sure about the 4-point. After reading this thread tho, it seems you get alot for the money with the nismo kit. Are these in stock?

KaienZ34 · 08-07-2011, 11:22 PM

With this kit you do not need the GT braces.

NewYorkJon34 · 08-08-2011, 12:26 AM

Thanks kaien, damn mod bug biting again, lol

NewYorkJon34 · 08-17-2011, 01:07 AM

Hey Z1 or dxcrew, any updates on these braces?

NewYorkJon34 · 08-20-2011, 02:47 AM

Updates?

NewYorkJon34 · 08-30-2011, 02:58 AM

Any new reviews on this part? Z1?
