if producing a bunch would cut costs would it be possible to kind of just start a group buy? get all the names down and have them produce that many if they can.
GT Spec Suspension Bracing
- Thread starter rookie
- Start date
Got the bars custom fitted to my FX today. And now getting powder coated. Will be ready by Wed. and will post pics once installation is done in a different thread. Little bit more work for my 45 due to the 3in nismo exhaust piping. So the dimensions are different then rookies because he has dual pipes.
On side note went to get dyno'd today at a AWD facility just for fun and see where I am at. Will post all these pics too later.

Wow DOC - what else you got goin??? I guess we'll see tomorrow at the track huh?
But you have to remember to take dyno readings with a grain of salt. No 2 dynos are the same and there just too many variables to get a fair reading from different dynos. The only way to get consistent and unbiased data is to have both cars dyno's on the same machine on the same day one after another. I personally do not believe ANY NA 35 can stand up to my 45 or any other 45 for that matter.
I had Tadashi compare the dyno data I got from the dyno that he had done with RU_Matrix who was the first 45 to do the ecu upgrade and he stated that the numbers seemed consistent. I have not looked at his dyno but will look for it on the org, but remember these are still 2 different reading on different dyno machines.
In any event, the results are what it is and thats all its too it. It was fun but it wasn't cheap. So in any event this is something I can use as a baseline for future mods.

I tried fellas - but he pretty much backed up his words:frown:
Check the original thread Dave.
Ok here are some initial pictures of this suspension that rookie first did being fitted for my 45. There are some fitment issues in the 'Rear Lateral Arm Brace' due to the differences in exhaust piping. But this can be easily worked out. For now until GT Spec decides to make this product specific for the FX community this is the only option we have and as of right now only available by Technosquare to local socal FXr's due to the above reasons. The 'Rear Tie Brace' is easy and seems like same measurements for everyone so I this part can be done for others but I do not know what TS would have to say.
But I suppose there would be other facilities near your area that could provide what TS did for me and rookie for this mode.
Original rear later arm brace.
Cut and welded to exact specs.
This is where these bars will be placed.
The bars are at the powdercoating shop now and I will have them back this week so stay tuned for new pics of finish and install.
