Would anyone who has installed any of the GTSPEC brace products share their experience (installation, ride comfort, handling/cornering, going over bumps, ground clearance, etc) with us? I'm thinking about installing them.

A bunch of us bought the GTSPEC FSTB and you can read the reports here: ///11105&page=10
I don't know of anyone here that has installed the under braces yet on the 2nd Gen FX. I believe nyqueenz purchased some of the under braces for his FX50but has not reported on them yet.
There are a few of us that are interested in them.
 
I swear on my other car with a strut brace the ride got worse. Since a strut brace connects the two strut towers together. Anytime I'd hit a bump on one side, the harshness of the impact transferred to the other side. My friends G37 is the same. One reason why he removed his.
 
Button up the top & bottom & ride quality gets better. Everything starts at the ground & works it's way up. The better connected you are to the tires & suspention, the ride should feel better too. First thing I noticed with bracing is how steady the wheel was to road irregularity. Gave it a lux feel, almost a numb feel to vibration.
 
The strut bar on the FX adds to the overall quality of ride and stability on cornering... It is a very noticeable improvement... I can see where adding "all" of the bars may make the car more stiff and hit the bumps in a less forgiving manner, but the strut bar alone does NOT lower ride quality... It is a very worthwhile mod! Every application is different, in this case it is a GO!
