Experience with sub frame braces on G37
Can't go lower than stock in Louisiana due to flooding, poor road conditions, and numerous pot holes in New Orleans. I have had several cars in the past that where lowered throgh low profile tires and they had issues with bottoming out.
Thanks for your help Hamster, I will order them next week.Still looking for best price and shipping,one website wanted 159.00 for shipping and another wanted 39.00 plus taxes of 36.00 on 550.00 worth of parts.I will order the 6 point and a couple of the other rear pieces to start.
Call Andy at HP Autoworks and ask for a special forum price shipped for all the ones you want and then go from there. He usually has the best or close to the best prices.

Hamster, I did call Andy and I am placing an order for the 6 point rear and the other rear bars as well. One question. does the 6 point hang low enough that I need to wory about scraping with stock springs? Its hard to tell with the photos. Please advise. Thanks
I am on Eibach so I am about 1/2" lower in rear than you. The rear of the 6pt brace is protected from scraping by the rear wheels/axles. The front of the 6pt brace is maybe 3/4" to 1" lower (just looked under, but did not measure) but I still got 4+ inches of clearance.
Now the only brace that looks like I may have scraped just a little is the front 2pt brace, but I am about 1 1/4" lower than you. Not 100% sure since all I did was look under from the side. It is the lowest of any of the braces. If scraped I probably did it when I was out slamming the suspension while "testing" out the front SPC a-arms.
Looks like you could hit the front 2pt on a big speed bump if you went over too fast and bounced the suspension or it was a real big speedbump.
In my opinion, if you hit a pothole big enough to scape the GTSpec braces, I think you are going to have some other damage to worry about.
