thats not the one i meant, this one

Yes, but it shows about were to pick up the bolts. ... It's the best I could find spending a few minutes searching.

Yeah I want to say the GTSpec one starts with the first two holes my Tanabe one is bolted to and then bolts on the back part of those braces as seen in my picture that was posted. The middle hole in the brace is probably meant to go over the little fitting that you can see in the picture.

that means im a ******* idiot, i ordered the 4 pt brace and the 2 pt brace so i guess ill have to sell the 2 pt brace

I thought the 2 pt brace was for the rear and the 4 pt brace was under the transmission. That's what it looked like when I went under my car this past weekend.

Someone shoot GTSpec an email asking for clarification. If anyone ordered these pieces I am pretty positive that they won't come with any directions. My rear strut brace didn't.

Actually I think you might be fine. The 2 point GTSpec brace seems to mount somewhere other than where the 4 point one mounts too. The 2 point one is way farther forward towards the engine.

my order was cancelled. i think i wanna get these again but is there a noticeable difference in handling?

**Blizzard** · #**14:** 01-27-2012, 08:19 AM

Yeah I meant to bump this to see if you ever got the parts or installed them.

**bradze** · #**15:** 01-27-2012, 12:53 PM

if i do get them, ill have to be sneaky about it. wife said no more car parts. she'd rather me pay off bills and save for a racecar.
