GT Spec Suspension Bracing
- Thread starter rookie
- Start date
They didn't think about measuring anything else while I was there the 1st time since we had trouble looking for bolts to fit the 4 point ladder brace. Didn't even think to ask .. mah bad.
i can just barely fit under the FX if i get on a piece of cardboard and slide under there. i found two places that were 34" apart up front, near the cats. but i couldnt find anything that was 28.5" down from there for the rears. i may just be looking in the wrong place. 
EDIT: i was looking in the wrong places, once i realized why my underbody looked different from the one in the pic i found what i believed to be the correct places, and there is a bolt in the rear part it could attach to, and mounting places i think that would work for the front. the rears were the correct distance, and i found a hole that was 28.5" forward of them. i didnt recheck the fronts, but they should still be 34" apart. someone may want to double check this, but it seems to work from what i found. may want to borrow an actualy brace to check for sure.

here's an example how it mounts up:
I don't have a straight shot on the y-pipe section but here's the front two bolting points(in red) and the two rear point (not 100% sure, in blue) :

hey guys, by the way (at Dave's request!)
If you are interested in doing another Group Buy on the Front braces and/or rears (as a set), we can easily arrange it. Due to the way things are right now, it is the only way for more braces to come into availability again.
So, if anyone is serious about getting them (read the reviews, they make a world of difference!), then send us a message, and we can arrange it on the same terms as the last one

Talked to Adam (thought he was Alan, lol..).. I will measure the space today as well and if it's good enough, I'll order a set from him to test fit it. If it's good, I think we'll have another brace available. If not, he accepted a return as long as it's not scratched.. nice!
cool, cant wait to here. i would do better measurements and stuff, but well theres barely enough room to turn my head down there. good thing i havnt driven recently or i would burn myself.Talked to Adam (thought he was Alan, lol..)..

Christmascomes but once a year, and that time happens to be in a month
Here's what I found out:
The front mounting points:
- Distance between two fronts looks like 34" as Adam said.
- The mounting point is right beside the y-pipe inlet flange unlike the previous one I marked
The rear mounting points:
- Distance between two rears looks like 34.5" as Adam said as well
- The mounting point is the second nut and the bar would go straightly accross the y-pipe outlet
And the distance between the front and rear are exactly 28" as Adam said and it's fcking hard to take this shot lying on the floor just a couple of inches from the body!
I will call Adam tomorrow and arrange the shipment. Will try to mount it after Thanksgiving and post the results.. I just hope they give a nice initial price but don't mind really if not..

That's why members here appreciate it much more .. Right?!
