It might not actually. The gt-4 rear-end and suspension is completely different. I'd like to see pictures if possible... The Matrix bar will work, with mods. If you think it's a bolt-on with re-drilled holes... you're way out of your league. Break apart the mount, and grind it down, etc... It's not very hard... it just depends on your ingenuity and imagination. Look at my pictures for a bit of reference.
