Trouble is...apart from looking good...what do they do..............Nothing ! lol..

It kind of fits. 5 mins with an angle grinder on the offside to shape to clear the K brace, a can of spray paint and a drill and it's job done. I fitted one to my GT. Took an hour or so plus a bit of time for the paint to dry and looks the business when it's on. Go for it! ...

tbh they make a massive different on almost all chassis anyway and anyone that tells you otherwise doesn't understand what they're supposed to do anyway

I’ve got the GT350 one on mine, can’t say I can tell any difference whatsoever

Looks cool though

^^^ I have one of those fitted; had to fit spacers that I purchased from Herrod Motorsport here in Aus. I'll see if I can find the photos.

Mines got spacers. They came with the brace

I fitted a 350R one also. By far the best looking and probably the lightest IMHO. Will fit without spacers but need to grind a little relief under the offside where it passes over the K brace if you want it central on the studs.

I have one of these modified slightly by [MENTION=22033]WOLFMAN[/MENTION]

They look great and definitely make a difference. I put mine on after 7000km and noticed the front stiffened up straight away and better turn in. As stated a bit of grinding and paint and done

If you want it more for aesthetics than function then yes, it will fit with help from Sir Angle Grinder (esquire). If you want a brace more for function than fashion, then I suggest a different K-brace to bolt to the subframe like this one from Steeda. From what I've seen, this will make a more noticeable impact on rigidity.

If you're a weekend cruiser, a strut brace will make no difference, if you're a driver that likes to push the car to the limit (especially round corners) then a strut brace is a must have. I'm sure there are many videos on YouTube that will explain why.

Well bit the bullet and ordered one..Didnt cost a fortune, so a bit of bling in the engine bay, and something to lean on when cleaning..

Now what other crap can i buy, that doesnt really do anything??

Air Induction Kit...

Paint the bay, hood struts, strut covers, brake fluid cover, tank cover/alloy tank. Badges? stickers?
