i got mine yesterday in Boston, so everyone should probably have theirs by now as I am the furthest away from Cali, i think. Honestly, dont get your hopes up like i did. haha. i'll probably never even open it.
...but these were sent from New York, no?
What's the surprise gift?!?!?!

These were shipped from Santa Fe Springs Ca. the city right next to me. I think I must have been the 1st to get the free gift.

for the rears, no since we did it twice
for the fronts, perhaps, but it depends on demand

At this point I don't really have much info. There is no production scheduled for any of the braces at this time, they will only be made in batches. So lead times will vary based on demand/# of orders placed. MSRP for the braces can be found on GT Spec's site, but as of yet I have not sat down to figure out what we will sell them for
As far as I know, gchristopher installed the whole thing including the ladder. John (turbocad) had the whole kit as well but don't know if he installed or not...

i do have the whole setup (4 braces) installed. I had some trouble with the ladder brace, so i ran just the engine tie brace for about 2 weeks. i definitely feel the difference from the engine tie brace and would recommend it for sure. i added my h&r springs after the initial week and a half. ran just like that for about 3 days, then got my alignment and put the ladder brace on. i can't honestly say that i feel a big difference from the ladder brace, but the engine tie brace made it stiffer for sure.

I do have a stillen strut tower brace that had been installed all along. i think that the front engine tie brace stiffened it as much, if not more, than the strut tower brace. I had a hard time getting the nuts off the control arms to attach the front part of the ladder brace. i had my car up on rams and just could not make enough leverage to crack them loose. my friend did the alignment at his work so i was able to get under there while the car was on the lift and break them lose with a breaker bar. It is a pretty tight fit to get at that nut with a socket, and the ladder brace makes it even tighter. when putting the nut back on i had my friend hold the breaker bar on the nut, and tighten with an impact gun from the bolt head on the front of the control arm.
