Hey I was wondering if anyone has feedback/review on some of the GT spec chasis parts? I know a bunch of the members have added the front strut bar. I was wondering about some of the underbody parts? Any one part the best? Buying all parts seems a bit much... Anyone have some of them or all etc and have want to leave some input? I want to upgrade my handling and thus far have added sway only (for now )

 

I have all of the GT Spec bracing. I enjoy the handling of my car. However, I also have Tein Flex coilovers with EDFC, front and rear sway bars, front and rear camber kits, and aftermarket wheels and tires.

Are you planning on changing your stock springs? If your car is otherwise stock and you are looking to improve handling, I might recommend changing out your springs and maybe consider new tires before investing in the braces.

Good luck.

P.S. - The forum search function can occasionally be useful.

 

Ya I am going to put on the 19" sport wheels. Would the gt spec parts be ok w/o aftermarket springs? I'm not sure about the springs yet.

 

I'm sure they will be okay and render some results in terms of handling performance. I was just suggesting that I think springs or coilovers would render the more drastic performance results.

 

i say go for it all. As I have done. Coils, sways strut frame bracing tires why half *** it

 

What is better: springs vs. coilovers? (keep in mind i have the awd)

 

Springs are cheapest and allow the least and unadjustable amount of drop. Ride quality can be argued either way but most would say lends itself to being bouncy.

Coils are adjustable and quality increases with price typically.

Your options are definitely more limited with the awd but the overall them is that bracing is more to complete a suspension than start with. Most people do the drop with spring or coils and sways first and then go from there.

But if you aren't on a budget and want to go all the way then get them all for sure!

 

^^ what rims are you running?
