GT Spec Rear Lower Tie Brace: need info
So I'm looking at some bracing to help stiffen up the girlfriends car and I can not for the life of me figure this thing out. Where does it mount to? How does it mount to it? What is it stiffening? I see this picture every time I look it up and there is a hand holding the bar in some location behind the rear axle (I think). Can anyone give me more details on this bar?
Does the car in this picture have rear steer or something?

Thanks Ham. You're going to have to show me how to quote a single post some time. I can see that it's attached to the rear control arms it that picture.
NJ, do you have that brace? I can not see how that bar does anything. That rear frame where the control arms are attached looks healthy enough.
BJ, stay on topic. It was a typo, I'm drunk.
VIP, not doing the coil thing but other braces are already in the works.

gt spec fstb- def feels great
lower front tie braces form gt spec...def feels great
rear lower tie bar from gt spec...prob the least of all the braces but does make a difference...id say get the front stb and rear tie brace at the same time at least...or get all 3 at once...

I don't have this brace yet but I've had a similar one on a different car. I originally thought the same as you - it doesn't do anything. WRONG! It helps a lot. I didn't realize what a difference it made until I had it on for several months and then took it off and drove without it. It makes a noticeable difference. Again it wasn't the GT spec brace or on a G37, but the principle's the same.
? Enjoy!
